Limerick Race 5

525 Yds (AA0)

Prize Money: $418

BALLYMAC GWENNIE (6) has a strong overall record having three wins and seven places from 11 starts including a last start second (28.38) over 480m at this track. Has never been out of the money in four starts this course. Will break from the outside trap and will go close with any luck early. BOCKOS GOLD (2) has an impeccable record this course, winning all three starts. Scored by 3.5 lengths last time (28.00) in an AA0 over 480m at this track. Among the main chances. SHUDACUDAWOUDA (5) looks close to another win after finishing second last time (28.38) in an AA0 at this track. Well-placed to take this out. RAPIDO IVY (4) was well fancied last time on the strength of her recent form but could only manage second (28.48) at this track. Likely to be in the finish again.
