Shelbourne Race 2

525 Yds (A3)

Stake: $1,036

BLACKHEATH FLAME (5) was well fancied last time on the strength of his recent form but could only manage fifth (29.50) at Newbridge. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings three times from four starts. Likely to play a prominent role. ZENITH EFENDI (2) is first up since finishing sixth (29.42) in an A2 at this track over 480m three-and-a-half months ago. Tends to go well off this trap. Well placed here and will can go close with a clear run. LOLOS OLIVE (3) finds it hard to break through. Hit the board with a minor placing last time when third (43.47) at this track. Leading chance. FLASHING MELODY (1) jumps at a shorter distance and still warrants respect.

Finished fourth two starts ago then regained form last time out when she found one better over 686m in a DD0 at this track. Sure to be most competitive again.

In the money two back then disappointed when he finished last in an A3 on April 25 over 480m at Newbridge behind Madabout Topgirl beaten 7 lengths (29.50). Mixing his form but shapes as a genuine chance under these conditions.
