Limerick Race 8

525 Yds (A7)

Prize Money: $538

HIDDEN HOLLY (1) trailed the lead and fought on well to be beaten 2 lengths into second (30.01) at this track in an A7 over 480m. Form from her last run is proving strong. Likely to be in the finish again. MELLON LUNA (2) was well fancied in betting last start but could only manage 3 lengths away in second (30.03). Well-placed to take this out. BALLINULTY TEN (3) shows ability but remains a maiden after 11 starts. Is better than last start when out of the placings, finishing second (30.38) at this track. Still to record a win from this draw but has never missed the frame in two starts. Must be included in calculations. KNOCKBAWN AZZA (4) scored with plenty to spare last time. Must be respected.

Solid effort after racing in the second half of the field and improving to score in an A7 by 1.5 len at this track over 480m (29.98). Tempted to look elsewhere.
