Thurles Race 5 - 525 Yds (A6)

CABRA KOSTAS (2) turned in a solid run last start over 480m at this track finishing 4th and beaten only 4 lengths (30.02). Better than the latest effort and deserves another chance. SHAHBAZ (6) sailed across from the outside trap last start to score an all-the-way win (29.84) at this track in an A6 over 480m. The form out of his last race has been franked. Can measure up again. TONAGHA SCALLY (4) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing fourth (30.33) in an A6 at this track. The form out of her last race has been franked. Has ability and a bold showing is expected. GORTKELLY SHEM (3) returns here with a good chance to improve on last time.

In the money two back then disappointed when he finished 4th on January 17 over 480m at this track behind Grimbot Laya beaten 4 lengths (30.02) in an A5. Goes very well from this box including six wins. Leading player.

Below best last start when she finished last over 480m at this track beaten 14 lengths (30.44) behind Moorstown Cailin in an A6 on January 17. Doesn't profile as a likely winner.
