Limerick Race 8

Sinbin Events Flat Race

Prize Money: $20,295

SPARKLING WIT (7) debuts for Willie Mullins. The Maxios gelding makes obvious appeal on paper. Market support would add to the confidence around his chances. Leading contender. MUCKANAGH LOUGH (5) returns from a break after going close at Leopardstown. That piece of form leaves him with a major say if he returns in similar order. TOO HOT TO TROT (9) starts out for Henry De Bromhead after a spell and his previous fresh record offers encouragement in a race of this nature. DOUBLE DARE (3) shaped with promise when third on debut at Gowran Park. Could take a useful step forward from that initial outing.

Was as a despised roughie at debut, second last of 16 at Cork on April 5 over 3822m, 160 len behind Barnahash Prince with 73kg at $151. Hard to see him featuring.

At debut, 3rd of 9 at Gowran Park on March 7 over 3621m, on heavy track; 26 len behind Dromard with 73kg at $19. Better for that experience and likely to be highly competitive again.

Was at a huge quote at debut, ran last in a small field at Punchestown on February 15 over 3218m, in the wet; 33 len behind Soul Asylum carrying 73kg at $67. Don't think he will trouble this field.
