Limerick Race 8

525 Yds (A4)

Prize Money: $563

CRICKLEOWL MISSY (6) goes very well at the course with two wins and a placing from six starts. Placed last time (29.97) at this track in an A4, finishing third and beaten 4 lengths. Looks suited here and rates on top. VARRA WHISTLER (4) was well fancied in betting last start but could only manage 5.5 lengths away in second (29.36). Bold showing expected. AIRFIELD BEST (5) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing fourth (29.59) last time in an A3 at this track. Better than last start and can bounce back. TYRAP POLLY (3) was strongly fancied last time on the back of some good recent form but could only manage third (29.47) at this track. Overdue and gets her chance.

Finished sixth two starts ago then regained form last time out when she found a couple better over 480m in an A4 at this track. The recent effort suggests she is ready to win.
