Shelbourne Race 3

550 Yds (Aa0)

Stake: $396

CARRICK SCHOLSEY (5) boasts a strong record this journey here with five wins and three minors from 11 tries. Hit the frame latest (29.42) when second at this track in an AA0. Looks a leading chance on best. BALLINABOLA JIM (6) boasts a strong record this journey here with 14 wins and seven minors from 27 tries. Comes off a (29.76) win last time, scoring by 1.5 lengths in an AA0 over 503m at this track. Looks suited here and can measure up. SUNSHINE SIOUX (1) is a capable type and proved too classy last time to win by 2.5 lengths at this track in a handy 29.25 beating CARRICK SCHOLSEY. Winner at his latest appearance in the quickest time on the card. Should feature again. DROOPYS ORATOR (4) placed last time out so worth considering.

Good effort after taking an early lead to score in an AA0 by 2.5 len at this track over 503m (29.25). Can go well again with the right run.

Could only manage fourth last time out over 503m at this track, a continuation of some ordinary form. Doesn't look smart enough to threaten the top few.

Moderate effort last start when he finished 4th on September 5 over 503m at this track behind Razldazl Kamaria beaten 3.5 lengths (30.20) in an AA0. Can't enthuse on this occasion.

Finished fifth two starts ago then regained form last time out when he found a couple better over 503m in an AA0 at this track. Racing well enough to play a big role.

Didn't fire two runs back then progressed nicely last time to finish second over 503m at this track. Heading the right way looks well placed to score.
