Shelbourne Race 4

600 Yds (A3)

Stake: $8,034

ELLO ELLO (2) recorded a half a length win (31.40) in an A3 last time at this track. Appeals as a leading chance in this. FUN (6) was well fancied in betting last start but could only manage half a length away in second (31.43). Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings five times from seven starts. Expecting another good run. HOLD ON TIGHT (1) is a capable type and proved too strong last time to win by 0.8 lengths at this track in a handy 31.86 beating BOSCOS SABB. Looks a key chance if runs up to latest figure. BOSCOS SABB (4) is worth consideration after filling a hole last start.

Talented performer with an excellent strike rate at this journey. Continued the excellent form last start when he scored over 526m at this track in a handy 31.40, beating Fun. Form strong and a huge chance to register the hat-trick.
