Clonmel Race 5

525 Yds (AA0)

Prize Money: $246

SURE EXILE (5) boasts a strong record this course with three wins and two minors from six tries. Was out of placings last time (33.07) at Shelbourne Park in an AA0, finishing fifth and beaten 7 lengths. Rates on top and should go close. SWORDS DIAMOND (3) broke through for a maiden win last time by 6 lengths at Shelbourne Park over 320m (18.54) and freshened since. Rates a leading chance again. SAWDUST BARRY (6) struggled in tougher grade last start after settling off pace at this track, but prior to that won by 1.5 lengths at Shelbourne Park (28.55) beating Darbys Queen in an A0 on April 11. Boasts three wins from five starts out of this box. Expected to run well. NICKY SWITHIN (1) is a last start winner in very good time. Worth consideration.

Dominant performance after taking an early lead to score in an A3 by 8 len at Waterford over 480m (28.29). Has hit winning form and is worth thought again.

Consistent performer who is new here. Nice win last start easily by 6 lengths at Shelbourne Park (18.54) beating Lightfoot Vuby in a S4 on March 31. Ran the fastest time on the program in that last win. Follow up.

Finished fifth two starts ago then regained form last time out when she found one better over 480m in an A1 at this track. Back on track last time but this looks a stern test.
