Limerick Race 2

525 Yds (A6)

Prize Money: $444

KNOCKBAWN SARAH (6) was well fancied in betting last start but could only manage 7 lengths away in third (29.60). Expected to feature again. YURI (2) was a last start winner (29.77) at this track in an A6 and will jump from trap 2 for the first time. Can go close again if runs up to latest figure. MELLON SARAH (1) was strongly supported last start but missed the frame when fourth (29.85), beaten 5 lengths. Form from her last run is proving to be solid. Will give the top chances plenty to think about. BALLYREGAN HOFFA (5) has an excellent record over this course and distance having never missed the placings in four starts, including two wins and two placings. Placed last time (29.78) at this track in an A6, finishing second and beaten a head. Looks suited and should go close.

Below best last start when she finished 4th over 480m at this track beaten 5 lengths (29.85) behind Thanks Socks in an A6 on January 2. Others make more appeal.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by a head over 480m at this track in a handy 29.77, beating Ballyregan Hoffa. Expected to go well again.

Got back early in the race last start when fourth over 480m at this track. Before that won by 0.8 lengths at this track (29.83) beating Blackboy Blue in an A7 on December 12. Has claims on best form.

Racing well of late. In the money two starts back at this track then finished third at her latest appearance in an A5 at this track over 480m (29.60). Not to be underestimated.
