Shelbourne Race 2

550 Yds (Aa0)

Stake: $396

MAGICAL MAJOR (4) is in hot form after clocking a dynamic 18.81 victory two back then followed up with a 29.45 win at this track over 503m last time. Expected to go close again if runs up to recent times. GROUCHOS HOFFA (6) boasts a strong record this journey with four wins and two minors from eight tries. Hit the frame latest (30.14) when third at this track in an AA0. Can feature in the finish. RAZLDAZL KAMARIA (5) pinged the lids and led throughout to score last start (29.96) at this track in AA0 over 503m. Expecting another bold showing. CLOVERFIELD CLAN (1) was well fancied last time on the strength of the win two back but could only manage third (30.29) at this track.

Solid effort after taking an early lead to score in an AA0 by neck at this track over 503m (30.17). Others hold stronger claims.

Didn't fire two runs back then progressed nicely last time to be beaten just 1.5 lengths into second over 503m at this track. Faces a tough assignment this time.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by 2.5 lengths over 503m at this track in a handy 29.96, beating Breaghmore Dice. Has a blistering 28.36 best time at this course and distance. Worth including.
