Shelbourne Race 2

525 Yds (A1)

Stake: $1,295

BALLYMAC MINT (6) has missed the placings at her last couple but was in the money three back when second (28.78) at this track in an AA0. Can make amends this time. HARRY HOUDINI (4) was well fancied last time on the strength of a win two back but could only manage sixth (29.28) at this track. Worth another chance. BALLYMAC NINJAGO (1) is long overdue for a win and in super consistent form, jumping from this trap to place last time at Tralee (27.49), making it three straight minors. Has the ability and looks a key chance. FAHEE PHANTOM (3) picked up a cheque in slick time most recently - in the mix again.

Form has been sound without winning, placing at her last three starts, the latest when second (27.49) over 457m at Tralee. Solid chance with even luck.

Form slipped last start when she finished 5th in an AA0 on June 7 over 480m at this track behind Lemon Orla beaten 7 lengths (28.88). Can't recommend against this lot.

Turned in a better effort over 480m at this track last start, finishing second behind Ballymac Rapid in an A0. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Has ability and worth including.

Winner two starts back at this track when scoring by a nose in 28.98. Last start finished last in an A1 on June 27 over 480m at this track behind Pennys Twinkle beaten 9 lengths (29.28). Gets chance to atone.

Below her best last time over 480m at this track (29.18) in an A0, finishing 9 lengths away in fourth. Strong record at this track and trip with three wins and three placings from eight starts. Looks hard to beat with even luck.
