Limerick Race 2

525 Yds (A5)

Prize Money: $580

KNOCKBAWN SARAH (6) stalked the lead after a clean break from trap 5 and went on to finish third (29.94) at this track in an A5 over 480m. Goes well out of this box with a win and two minor placings. Likely to feature again. HIDDEN HOLLY (2) finds it hard to win but looks close to breaking through. Has been in the minors the last two runs, the latest finishing third (30.00) at this track. Deserves a win and gets her chance. VARRA LASRACH (1) placed two back in an A5 at this track then was not far away from trap four last start when second (29.58) over 480m at this track. This looks easier and expected to improve sharply. SHANAKYLE BLUE (3) was out of the money here last time out but can bounce back.

Followed a minor placing at this track two runs ago with a sound second, beaten 2.5 lengths, last start in an A5 at this track over 480m (29.58). Decent recent form so demands respect.

Finished fourth two starts ago then regained form last time out when she found a couple better over 480m in an A5 at this track. Can take this out on the back of that sound recent effort.
