Shelbourne Race 9 - 550 Yds (Aa0)

HACKNEY DANCER (2) last raced on May 15 when fourth (30.29) over 480m at Clonmel in an AA0. Strike rate this course strong having won two of four tries. Strike-rate solid and expected to feature in the finish. GROUCHOS CHIEF (1) looks close to another win after hitting the frame in a 0.8 lengths second (29.51) in an AA0 at this track. Hard to beat again. CROSSFIELD MATT (4) produced a moderate performance last time when fifth at Tralee over 503m behind Solo And Go (29.92) in an AA0. The form from his last run is stacking up nicely. Key player if finds best. EL PREZ GEORGE (6) is a last-start placegetter who should be thereabouts.
