NELLY'S MONEY was better than ever on just her third ever start in a handicap when second at Clonmel 3 weeks ago, impressing with how she went through the race and unlucky to bump into one on a going day, and she's one to be interested in all of a sudden. Rhinestone represents shrewd connections and may emerge as the biggest threat now handicapping.
