Limerick Race 3

525 Yds (A4)

Prize Money: $587

MELLON SOPHIE (1) has a fair record and proved too strong last time to win by 1.5 lengths at this track in a handy 29.39 beating KNOCKBAWN AZZA. Shapes as a top winning chance on latest effort. FIRE PIN (5) comes off a (29.49) win last time, scoring by 2.5 lengths in an A4 over 480m at this track. Has already won out of this trap. HONEYPOUND TEMPO (3) was below best at his last start when 6th at this track following a third place finish (29.62) there two back. Form here at the trip sound including nine wins. Expected to feature in the finish. LAWRENTIAN STAR (6) is a capable type and proved too strong last time to win by 3 lengths at this track in a handy 29.47 beating Lickadoon Runner. Makes plenty of appeal if runs up to latest.

Racing well of late. In the money two starts back at this track then finished runner-up at his latest appearance in an A5 at this track over 480m (29.52). This might be too rich.
