Shelbourne Race 9

525 Yds (Aa0)

Stake: $2,512

BALLYMAC LAKE (1) finished in the placings last time but could not have been more impressive before that in his superb 28.41 win at Curraheen Park over 480m. Expected to push the clock again here. ANNADOWN ELLIE (6) went straight to the front and never headed when winning two back but could manage only midfield last time when finished 5th and beaten 9 lengths at this track (29.18). The form from her last run is stacking up nicely. Leading chance. BADLY BEHAVING (5) has a strong record this trip with six wins and three placings from 16 starts. In the money last time at this track (28.84) in an AA0, finishing a 3 length third. Suited here and expected to run well. OLD CHICAGO (2) missed the placings here most recently but can sneak into the finish with the right run.

Has been in great form, scoring zero in a row before finishing second (28.23) last time at Curraheen Park over 480m. Leading chance who should prove hard to beat.

Could only manage fourth last time out over 480m at this track, adding to some plain results of late. Prepared to overlook.

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 28.84. Capable of a good showing.

Was out of the placings last time over 480m at this track (29.18) in an AA0, beaten 9 lengths. Strong record at this track and trip with two wins and two placings from six starts. Looks hard to beat with even luck.
