Thurles Race 5

525 Yds (A4)

Prize Money: $557

VIRGIL TIBBS (1) has shown good improvement at his last two starts, most recently finishing 2nd at this track over 521m. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last start despite being beaten. Overdue and gets his chance. PRINCESS MOLLY (2) scored two back then drifted back and missed the frame latest finishing a 8 length 4th at this track (31.94). Boasts a strong record from this draw with four wins and two minor placings from 10 starts. Cannot be taken lightly. HOLLYHILL RAPID (6) trailed the lead and fought on well to be beaten 0.9 lengths into third (29.38) at Clonmel in an A4 over 480m. The form from his last run is stacking up nicely. Overdue and gets his chance. BULL RUN BUCKO (3) was unplaced here last start but gets his chance to atone.

Could only manage fifth last time out over 480m at this track, adding to some plain results of late. Others better.
