Limerick Race 9

Prize Money: $814

BALLYGUR VERNON (2) boasts a strong record this journey with 12 wins and 11 minors from 33 tries. Recorded a 4.5 lengths win (28.52) in an A0 last time at Kilkenny. Appeals as a leading chance in this. WI CAN JAMES (1) steps out for the first time at this circuit. Comes here after a last start 4th and beaten 6 lengths (29.48) at Shelbourne Park. Bold showing expected. BALLYMAC GWENNIE (6) carved over from wide out last start and boxed on strongly to finish 2 lengths away in second (31.23) behind Timmys Bucks at Curraheen Park. Form from her last run is proving to be solid. Overdue and gets her chance. SONSOFARDCRONEY (4) has a solid strike rate at this track and distance.

Comments

In the money two back then disappointed when he finished 4th on September 12 over 503m at Shelbourne Park behind Bockos Gold beaten 6 lengths (29.48) in an AA0. More than capable and well placed to find his best form.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by 4.5 lengths over 480m at Kilkenny in a handy 28.52, beating Mission Control. Looks the one to beat.
