Limerick Race 10

525 Yds (AA0)

Prize Money: $415

BLACKSTONE LEXUS (4) looks close to another win after finishing third last time (28.28) in a ON1 at Tralee. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last start despite being beaten. Key chance in this line up. BALLYMAC SETANTA (3) rocketed around 480m in 28.07 when winning an AA0 at Shelbourne Park last start. Should be in this for a long way. SAWDUST BARRY (5) is progressing well and looks close to another win after hitting the frame last run (28.65) at Shelbourne Park. Comes out of a solid form race last start. Must be included in calculations. GROUCHOS COSSIE (1) placed two runs ago then again in the money last time when third (40.90) at Waterford in a DD0.

Followed a minor placing at Waterford two runs ago with a sound third, beaten 2.75 lengths, last start in a DD0 at Waterford over 668m (40.90). Decent recent form so demands respect.

Finished in the minor money three back but has won two on end since, the latest an AA0 at Shelbourne Park (28.07). That last win was in the quickest time on the card. Stick with him.
