Limerick Race 9

525 Yds (A6)

Prize Money: $552

NANDINA (5) is a capable type and proved too classy last time to win by 1.5 lengths at this track in a handy 30.05 beating SCALA NORA. Goes well out of this box with a win and two minor placings. Can continue on her winning ways. ANY ATTIC (2) comes off an average effort last start when fifth at this track over 480m behind Lion And Legend (30.42) in an A5. A forward showing wouldn't surprise. KNOCKBAWN BLOND (4) was well in the market last time but only managed fourth (30.21), beaten 11 lengths. Finished second the start before. One of the better hopes. SCALA NORA (6) placed last time and cannot be ignored.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to finish third over 480m at this track. May find this a bit too tough.

Not seen at best last start when she finished 5th over 480m at this track beaten 9 lengths (30.37) behind Boherash Ger in an A5 on January 22. Others have better credentials.

In the money two back then disappointed when he finished 4th over 480m at this track beaten 11 lengths (30.21) behind Lion And Legend in an A5 on January 29. Look for improvement. Not out of it.

Solid performance after taking an early lead to score in an A7 by 1.5 len at this track over 480m (30.05). Looks the one to beat again.

Finished second last time (30.15) over 480m at this track. Coming off a solid run but has won just six of 71 starts. Cannot be ruled out.
