Thurles Race 1

525 Yds (A4)

Prize Money: $569

KNOCKROE JERSEY (2) goes very well this trip starting eight times for three wins and three minors. Was out of placings last time (30.38) at this track in an A4, finishing fourth and beaten 13 lengths. Looks suited and should go close. CABRA KEISER (4) is a capable type and proved too classy last time to win by 4.5 lengths at this track in a handy 29.47 beating Hollyhill Max. Can measure up again. GORTKELLY PIXIE (1) was well fancied last time on the strength of his recent form but could only manage second (29.78) at this track. Goes well out of this box with a win and two minor placings. Can measure up. BULL RUN BEAST (3) has claims fresh from a recent placing at this track and distance.

Racing well of late. In the money two starts back at this track then finished runner-up at his latest appearance in an A4 at this track over 480m (29.78). Not to be underestimated.

Could only manage fourth last time out over 480m at this track (30.38) in an A4. Strong record at this track and trip with three wins and three placings from eight starts. Leading contender.

In the money at this track at his last couple of starts, most recently finishing third over 480m. Won't find this much tougher. Definite contender.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by 4.5 lengths over 480m at this track in a handy 29.47, beating Hollyhill Max. Has a solid record from this draw, including three wins. Expected to go well.
