Shelbourne Race 1

525 Yds (A0)

Prize Money: $1,366

HARLEQUIN GEE UP (1) was the fastest winner on the program last time out, running away to score by one length (28.52) at this track. Hard to go past. BROTHER THOMAS (2) was strongly supported last start but missed the frame when fifth (30.69), beaten 6 lengths. Should be in this for a long way. OLD ALASKA (3) comes here following a placing in quick time (28.59) over 480m at this track. Expected to feature again. BALLINABOLA BALE (4) is worth including.

Below best last start when he finished 5th in an AA0 on July 4 over 503m at this track behind Gaston beaten 6 lengths (30.69). Not going well enough. Needs to lift.

Didn't fire two runs back then progressed nicely last time to be beaten just one length into second over 480m at this track. Back on track last time but this looks a stern test.
