Limerick Race 5

525 Yds (A6)

Prize Money: $570

KNOCKBAWN MAGIC (3) placed two back in an A6 at this track then was not far away from trap five last start when third (29.88) over 480m at this track. Can make amends this time. THUNDERIN MINNIE (5) recorded a 2 length win in an A7 last time 29.93 at this track and trip and also jumping from the same draw. Harder here but expected to feature again. SCALA NORA (6) showed little early speed at her last couple, the latest finishing fifth (30.04) in an A6 at this track. Cannot be taken lightly. SHANAKYLE TURBO (2) was in the money last start from this box - poses a threat again.

Good effort to score last start by one length over 480m at this track in 29.74, beating Bettyvillebelter. In form but prefer to watch this time.

Comments

Turned in a better effort over 480m at this track last start, finishing third behind Cherrygrove Dave in an A6. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Last run is a strong form reference. Worth following up.

In the money at this track at his last couple of starts, most recently finishing third over 480m. Won't find this any tougher. Right in this.

Finished fourth two starts ago then regained form last time out when he found a couple better over 480m in an A6 at this track. Better last time but not convinced this is his race.

Solid effort after racing in the second half of the field and improving to score in an A7 by 2 len at this track over 480m (29.93). Looks the one to beat again.
