Limerick Race 1

525 Yds (A3)

Prize Money: $1,250

BALLYGIBBA SAM (1) settled midfield in the run and boxed on to finish there when 5th (29.37) at this track. Comes out of a solid form race last start. Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. JACOP STAR (4) has been going along well and was strongly fancied last time but could only manage third (29.62) at this track. Can feature again. BRIGHT MALACHI (3) found some support last start but struggled into fourth (29.35), beaten 13 lengths. Finished second the start before. Will give the top chances plenty to think about. SPORTING LATTE (6) was well fancied last time on the strength of his recent form but could only manage second (29.34) at this track. Has performed well from this box with a win and four minor placings to his name from nine starts.

In the money two back then disappointed when he finished 5th on September 4 over 480m at this track behind Carrigmore Micah beaten 2.75 lengths (29.37) in an A3. The form out of the last run measures up. Hard to beat.

Could only manage fourth last time out over 480m at this track, a continuation of some ordinary form. Others favoured this time.

Comments

Racing consistently, including a win three back at this track, before placings at last two runs, the latest when third (29.62) over 480m at this track. Has been around the mark at his last couple and should make his presence felt.
