Cork Race 5

525 Yds (Aa0)

Prize Money: $4,235

SWORDS STYLE (1) was a (28.23) winner last time out at Shelbourne Park from Box 5. Ran the fastest time on the program in his latest win. Can make it back-to-back wins. CILL DUBH COTHAL (2) missed the frame latest (29.08) when fifth over 480m at this track in an AA0. Unbeaten in two runs from this trap. Looks a key chance on best figures. SOLO AND GO (4) is a consistent dog overall, in the frame at 18 of 37 starts including 13 wins but missed the frame latest when fourth (28.90) over 480m at this track. Form here at the trip sound including three wins. Best form too dangerous to ignore. Have to include. SHUTINTHEDARK (6) was strongly supported last start but missed the frame when fifth (29.08), beaten 9 lengths.
