Shelbourne Race 2 - 550 Yds (A0)

HIGHVIEW EXCEL (1) was in the minor money with a speedy 28.63, finishing third in an A3 at this track last start. Has the ability and expected to go close again. GROUCHOS FRANK (2) had been racing well prior to his last start fourth at this track following an A0 win three back with a third placing. Can improve sharply here. TOWN KITTEN (3) was a winner two back when prominent throughout then got further back last time and could manage only a 10 length 4th at this track (29.13). Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. JAYPEES COOPER (4) should bounce back after an unplaced effort here recently.

Finished fourth two starts ago then regained form last time out when he found a couple better over 480m in an A3 at this track. Cannot enthuse despite that better recent effort.
