Limerick Race 9

525 Yds (A5)

Prize Money: $543

STAR MICHAEL (2) was out of the placings last time when sixth at Mullingar (30.28) but scored four back at Mullingar (29.78). Form from his last run is proving very strong. Worth another chance. RIVERDALE RUDY (5) turned in a better effort at this track last start, finishing second behind Honeypound Fiadh (29.59) in an A6. Has the pace to be prominent. Winning chance. TYRAP JESSIE (3) was safely held last time out, finishing fifth at this track over 480m behind Ballinulty Tex (29.99) in an A4. Cannot be taken lightly. AQUA MAGNOLIA (6) is worth including after a top-three finish at this track and distance most recently.

Missed the frame when sixth at over 480m Mullingar at his last run 11 weeks ago. Looks a leading contender.

Was safely held fresh from a break when fifth (29.99) at this track over 480m. Yet to win but has placed once from two second-up runs. Others make more appeal.

Finished fifth two starts ago then regained form last time out when he found one better over 480m in an A6 at this track. Heading the right way looks well placed to salute.

Finished second last start over 480m at this track behind Varra Lasrach in an A7. Boxed on well last time to hit the frame. Rates highly again.
