Limerick Race 4

525 Yds (A6)

Prize Money: $543

VARRA WHISTLER (1) was well fancied in betting last start but could only manage 0.8 lengths away in second (29.74). Makes plenty of appeal. KNOCKBAWN SARAH (6) missed the frame last time but had been racing well prior to that, winning an A7 three back before a placing at this track the following run. Well placed here and can atone this time. PRIVATE RETURN (5) comes off an average performance last start when sixth at this track over 480m behind Ballinulty Tex (30.43) in an A6. Strong form has emerged from his last run. Can measure up this time. TYRAP POLLY (2) must be respected despite an unplaced effort here most recently.

Racing well of late. In the money two starts back at this track then finished runner-up at her latest appearance in an A6 at this track over 480m (29.74). Consistent performer who is hard to go past.

Finished sixth two starts ago then regained form last time out when she found one better over 480m in an A6 at this track. Better last time but not convinced this is her race.

In the money two back then disappointed when she finished 4th in an A6 on March 26 over 480m at this track behind Millmount Socks beaten 3.5 lengths (29.93). Thereabouts at the last couple. Suited here and likely to run well.
