Shelbourne Race 10

525 Yds (Aa0)

Stake: $5,117

FAYPOINT RANGER (5) missed the frame last time but before that recorded the quickest win (28.26) on the program at this track in an AA0. Key player on best and expected to bounce back. SOBER BARRY (3) is a handy type who was well below best latest at this track, finishing sixth (29.93) in an AA0. Generally fast to begin but was always well back despite the low draw last time. Has a strong record here at this journey including six wins. Strong form has emerged from his last run. Great chance to atone. DROOPYS UNREAL (6) comes here after a scorching win over 480m at this track in 28.22. Has the ability and looks a key chance. THE OTHER MEL (2) was a winner two back and strongly fancied last time but could only manage fifth (28.94) at this track. Solid formlines coming through her last run.

Got back early in the race last start when third over 480m at Curraheen Park. Before that won by 3 lengths at this track (28.05) beating Old Alaska in an A0 on August 15. Happy enough to dismiss in this field.
