Clonmel Race 8 - 525 Yds (AA0)
SHOTGUN DEZ (1) is in hot form after clocking a brilliant 28.23 victory two back then followed up with a 28.17 win at Shelbourne Park over 480m last time. Should be in this for a long way. BALLYVERRY PARIS (3) goes very well at the distance with two wins and a placing from four starts. Scored by 3 lengths last time (28.39) in an A2 over 480m at Tralee. Makes strong appeal on best. TYRAP BUCKO (4) has a strong record this trip with three wins and two placings from six starts. Placed last time (28.75) at Limerick in an AA0, finishing second and beaten 0.8 lengths. Looks suited here and can measure up. ALIEN BAT (6) is new to this course but warrants respect.

Form slipped last start when he finished 4th in an AA0 on April 4 over 480m at Limerick behind Ballymac Setanta beaten 7 lengths (28.41). Hard to recommend this time.

Consistent performer who is new here. Nice win last start by 3 lengths at Tralee (28.39) beating Ballinveala Jen in an A2 on April 17. Looks the one to beat again.

Finished second last start over 480m at Limerick behind Whizzing Donald in an AA0. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Has claims if at his best.

Finished sixth two starts ago then regained form last time out when he found a couple better over 480m in an A0 at this track. Back on track last time but this looks a stern test.

Talented performer with an excellent strike rate at this journey. Continued the excellent form last start when he scored over 480m at Newbridge in a handy 28.72, beating Jet Fighter. Winner last time and looks well placed again.
