Limerick Race 9

525 Yds (A4)

Prize Money: $596

BALLYGIBBA DOVE (4) returned a better run last time, finishing in the money (29.40) at this track behind Redbud in an A4. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. The form from her last run is stacking up nicely. Capable of going well again. SHANAKYLE VALLEY (1) placed last time (29.83) at this track in an A4, finishing third and beaten 15 lengths. Has six wins already from this trap. Makes strong appeal on best. LODGE ROAD (5) finished second (29.55) two back at this track but out of the placings last time when 6th there. Solid record here at the distance winning three races. Goes well out of this box with a win and three minor placings. Likely to be about the mark. CHERRYGROVE ORCA (2) is a last-start placegetter at this track and distance – sure to have admirers.

Finished third last start over 480m at this track behind Acambo in an A4. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Solid chance with even luck.

Finished fourth two starts ago then regained form last time out when he found one better over 480m in an A5 at this track. Cannot enthuse despite that better recent effort.

Didn't fire two runs back then progressed nicely last time to be beaten just 1.3 lengths into third over 480m at this track. The recent effort suggests she is ready to win.

In the money two back then disappointed when he finished last over 480m at this track beaten 11 lengths (30.34) behind Kilgarran Mickey in an A4 on January 15. Capable of taking this out.

Racing consistently, including a win two back at this track, before a half a length second (29.34) over 480m at this track last time. In the money last time but has the job ahead.
