Ballinrobe Race 1 - C.j. Sheeran Ltd 3-Y-O Mdn Hurdle
MINELLA BUOY (4) lost out by a neck placing second in a first time hood over 3419m at Killarney. Selected to break through for his first win. NICKY LARSON (7) is expected to play a leading role following a 3L third racing from off the pace in a 3319m maiden hurdle at Limerick. MOUNT EDEN (6) delivered his best performance to date recording a 5.8L third contesting a small field 3218m juvenile hurdle at Hexham in early June. Holds strong prospects returning from a short break. SOFI'S GIFT (13) showed up well delivering a 1.5L second tackling 3319m at Limerick beginning of last month. Notable contender.

First race starter by Arizona out of Zoffaan. Makes his debut here in what looks a tricky race for him. Will be better for the outing and tempted to give him this.

Third-up today. Resuming pulled up at Limerick on July 2 over 3319m. Second run from a spell finished ninth of 12 runners at Killarney on July 17 over 3419m, 77 len behind Cite Florale carrying 67.5kg at $301. Looks safely held without significant improvement.

Last run finished sixth of 12 starters at Killarney on July 17 over 3419m, 15 len behind Cite Florale with 67.5kg at $13. Run before finished eighth of 11 runners at Down Royal on May 29 over 2112m, 8 len behind Teologia with 57.5kg at $29. Find this unsuitable. Makes little appeal.

Recent form impressive for this race. Comes off a 39 day let-up. Last start finished third of 9 runners at Limerick on July 2 over 3319m, 3 len behind Minella Rockett carrying 70kg at $3.80. The run before finished fourth of 13 starters at Leopardstown on June 4 over 1609m, 8 len behind Only One Scobie with 58kg at $6. Sure to improve again. Plenty to like about his prospects.
