Shelbourne Race 7

550 Yds (Aa0)

Stake: $21,684

BALLYMAC SETANTA (3) is a talented dog who has been too quick to win his last three on end, the latest leading throughout at this track (29.41). Form here at this distance is sound. Has a strong record from box 3, including three wins. In sparkling form and expected to measure up again. BALLYMAC DENIRO (5) goes very well this trip starting 15 times for eight wins and five minors. Placed last time (29.98) at this track in an AA0, finishing second and beaten 3.5 lengths. Looks suited here and can measure up. ORIENTAL KING (4) is progressing well with another good run last time, placing (29.69) last time out at this track. Has a good record here including two wins. Likely to be in the finish again. BALLYHOOLY CLIFF (6) recorded a 3.5 lengths win (29.74) in an AA0 last time at this track. Has six wins already from this trap.
