Thurles Race 8 - 525 Yds (A3)

GORTKELLY SHEM (1) finds it hard to win but has a consistent overall record, having placed 19 of 36 career runs. Finished in the minors last time when third (29.12) at this track making it back to back placings. Didn't win last time but still ran one of the quickest times on the card. Makes plenty of appeal. ASHLEEN SUBLIME (2) has a strong record this track and trip including three wins from four starts. Below best last time at this track (29.65) in an A3, finishing a 8 length sixth. With even luck and a clean start can sneak into the finish. ON THE GOLD (3) jumped cleanly last start and led all the way (29.57) at this track in an A3 over 480m. Leading player again. GIDDYUP ELLIE (4) was strongly fancied on the back of a win two starts ago but finished sixth last time (30.65) at Waterford. Strong form has emerged from her last run.

Was out of the placings last time over 480m at this track (29.65) in an A3, beaten 8 lengths. Goes very well at this track and trip, including three wins. Likely to be in the finish.

Good effort after taking an early lead to score in an A3 by nose at this track over 480m (29.57). Among the chances and worth following up.
