Thurles Race 5

525 Yds (A1)

Prize Money: $669

BORNA STAR (6) looks close to another win after hitting the frame in a 8 length third (31.89) in an A2 at Shelbourne Park. Has a strong record from this draw, notching two wins and two minor placings from four starts. Capable of going well again. EBONYS MUSIC (1) had trap 4 and was game in defeat when only 1.2 lengths from Whizzing Annie in third (29.38) at this track. Strong form has emerged from his last run. Leading chance. BORNA BANTAM (5) placed in an A0 when a 4 length second this course and distance last time in a personal Best Time (28.78) and also clocked one of the quickest times on the card. Top run latest and rates a key player again. ENCHANTED DIVA (2) is last start winner who looks one of the chances.

Handy type with a solid strike-rate. Winner two back then well fancied last time and could manage only third over 480m at this track in 29.38. The form out of the last run measures up. Hard to beat.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by 1.5 lengths over 480m at this track in a handy 29.34, beating Gortkelly Shem. Has claims if at her best.
