Limerick Race 1

Limerick Racecourse Claiming Hurdle

Prize Money: $18,450

TIMMY TUESDAY (2) drops sharply in grade following a trio of pulled up results including last week attempting a 4800m Listed Handicap Hurdle at Leopardstown. This is easier and can return to best form. Serious player. EMBITTERED (6) has been a smart performer. The twelve-year-old drops in class holding G3 winning chase form earlier in his career. Shortlist revisiting hurdles. LUCKINTHECITY (3) ran with credit two outings back producing a fair fifth contesting a 4400m beginners chase at Listowel. Unexposed hurdling and may progress further. Holds claims. CAFE CON LECHE (5) won a 4000m handicap hurdle at Cork four starts ago. Not discounted.

Second-up today. Not raced for 52 days. Fresh up after three months pulled up at Thurles on December 20 over 4325m. Previously second-up finished third in a small field at Roscommon on June 9 over 5029m, 18 len behind Brave Fortune with 73kg at $4. Forgive first-up failure. Fitter and will prove hard to beat.
