Shelbourne Race 9

550 Yds (A0)

Stake: $1,582

COOLAVANNY SHONA (5) turned in a solid run last start over 503m at this track finishing 4th and beaten only 1.75 lengths (30.17). Yet to win here but has run some good races. Better than the latest effort and deserves another chance. TOWN LUCKY (4) trailed the lead and fought on well to be beaten 3 lengths into second (30.04) at this track in an A1 over 503m. Comes through a solid form race last start. Can measure up. FRIEND OF HANKS (3) was strongly fancied last time on the back of a win two back but could only manage fifth (29.18) at this track. PRICELESS ROMEO (2) had won two in a row before finishing third (28.99) last time at Enniscorthy. Yet to score from this box but has never missed the frame in two starts. Deserves serious consideration.

Could only manage fifth last time out over 549m at this track (32.73) in an AA0. Strong record here at this journey with two wins and a minor placing from six starts. Nicely placed.

Handy type with a solid strike-rate. Winner two back then well fancied last time and could manage only third over 480m at Enniscorthy in 28.99. Comes out of a hot form race. Worth following up.

Winner two starts back at this track when scoring by one length in 28.65. Last start finished 5th over 480m at this track beaten 6 lengths (29.18) behind Monleek Sudan in an A0 on April 11. May well be worth another chance.

Finished fourth two starts ago then regained form last time out when he found one better over 503m in an A1 at this track. Back on track last time but this looks a stern test.

Form slipped last start when she finished 4th over 503m at this track beaten 1.75 lengths (30.17) behind Teeming Spirit in an A0 on April 26. Not far from winner last time but has the job ahead here.

Missed the frame when fourth at over 686m this track at her last run nine weeks ago. Has started two times first-up for a win and a placing. Sure to go close fresh.
