Limerick Race 8

525 Yds (A4)

Stake: $657

VARRA WHISTLER (4) did a good job to finish second last time out over 480m at this track (29.46) in an A4, the second top-three finish on the trot. Key player on best and worth another chance. MELLON LUNA (2) bolted in last time, scoring by 6 lengths in slick time (29.39) to take an A7 in a new PB this course and distance. Bold showing expected again. HIDDEN HOLLY (5) has mixed form recently, finishing fourth (29.71) in an A4 at this track latest but did run well two back when in the frame. Expected to bounce back to best. CARDI FOX (3) hasn't been far away, finishing in the money twice in a row including last time in an A5 at this track over 480m.

In the money at this track at her last couple of starts, most recently finishing second over 480m. Won't find this any tougher. Hard to beat with even luck.
