Thurles Race 8 - 525 Yds (A7)
BALLON DOR (5) was well backed last start but ran below expectations when sixth (30.20), beaten 7 lengths. Has winning claims on his best figures. COOSANE HOLLY (4) broke a string of placings finishing in the money three on end before a last start fourth (29.90) at this track. Still to record a win from this draw but has never missed the frame in two starts. Warrants plenty of respect. GIVEUSAGLIMPSE (3) drew trap 4 last start and was game in defeat when a close third, 0.7 lengths from Montore Harry (30.02) at this track. Expecting another good run. FREE SEVEN FREE (6) has ability and can feature with the right run after missing a cheque here most recently.

Below best last start when she finished last in an A7 on May 30 over 480m at this track behind Anytime Molly beaten 12 lengths (31.06). Not likely to feature on this occasion.

Not seen at best last start when he finished last over 480m at this track beaten 8 lengths (30.45) behind Bull Run Nugget in an A7 on June 6. Hard to entertain this time.

Finished third when resuming last start over 480m at this track (30.02) in an A7. Much improved for this and shapes as one to consider.

In the money two back then disappointed when she finished 4th in an A6 on June 13 over 480m at this track behind Bull Run Kiwi beaten 6 lengths (29.90). Has been racing well. Well placed here and looks a leading contender.

In the money two back then disappointed when he finished last on May 30 over 480m at this track behind Tournareek Blue beaten 7 lengths (30.20) in an A6. Was in the money two on end before missing the frame last time. Worth another try.
