Tipperary Race 4 - Irish Stallion Farms Ebf Fillies Handicap
SHELBIANA (7) came good in a 1408m Curragh maiden last month. Third on handicap debut the time before and rates an appealing option with further improvement anticipated. EMPRESS ARTEMIS (6) finished second tackling competitive 1609m Curragh handicaps past two starts. From a feasible handicap this slight drop in trip might prove ideal. NO ALIBI (3) bids for a hat-trick following narrow wins at Cork (1207) and Limerick (1307m). Form can be inconsistent however remains unexposed and open to further progress. CRYSTAL BALL (8) disappointed so far. Beautifully-bred and holds potential to improve making handicap debut.

Third-up today and placed third-up in the past. First-up 3rd of 7 at Leopardstown on July 10 over 1408m, 1.75 len behind Sounds Like A Plan carrying 57kg at $11. Second-up won by a head at Curragh July 19 over 1408m defeating Therewillbeglory with 58.5kg at $4. Handy strike-rate and is a key chance.
