Limerick Race 4

525 Yds (A5)

Prize Money: $570

MELLON LUNA (2) struggled to get involved last start at this track, but prior to that won by 2.5 lengths at this track (29.56) beating Timtam in an A5 on December 11. Has winning claims on her best figures. CHERRYGROVE DAVE (4) led all the way last time out to score by 3 lengths (29.81) at this track in an A5 over 480m. Hard to fault his recent form and can win again. GLENFINN JUDY (6) has a fair record and proved too classy last time to win by half a length at this track in a handy 29.58 beating Carrigmore Marlo. Should be in this for a long way. VARRA LASRACH (1) is worth some thought after placing last start.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to finish third over 480m at this track. Looks to have turned things around so follow him up.

Winner two starts back at this track when scoring by 2.5 lengths in 29.56. Last start finished last in an A5 on January 8 over 480m at this track behind Cherrygrove Dave beaten 7 lengths (30.34). Gets chance to atone.

Missed the placings three back but unbeaten in two runs since, the latest claiming an A5 in 29.81 over 480m at this track. Looks well placed to make it three straight.

Could only manage fifth last time out over 480m at this track, a continuation of some ordinary form. Will need to improve to feature.

Good performance after racing on the speed to score in an A6 by 0.5 len at this track over 480m (29.58). Among the chances and worth following up.
