Limerick Race 7

525 Yds (A6)

Stake: $627

BALLYMARTIN GARY (2) broke well and quickly mustered speed to win over the 480m at this track two runs back then raced on speed again when finishing third at this track last start. Can go on with it. LIMERICK LACE (6) has been hard to follow lately, running fourth (29.60) last time but prior to that ran very well when placed at this track. Well placed here and should do much better. HIDDEN MOLL (4) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing fourth (29.99) last time in an A6 at this track. Can measure up this time. KNOCKBAWN BLOND (1) was well fancied last time on the strength of a win two back but could only manage sixth (30.11) at this track.

Winner two starts back at this track when scoring by 2.5 lengths in 29.70. Last start finished last over 480m at this track beaten 11 lengths (30.11) behind Konate in an A6 on June 26. Worth consideration on best form.

Quickly away last start and finished third over 480m at this track. More than capable and has to be included.

Didn't fire two runs back then progressed nicely last time to finish third over 480m at this track. Better last time but not convinced this is her race.

Could only manage fourth last time out over 480m at this track, a continuation of some ordinary form. Other runners look much more appealing.

In the money two back then disappointed when she finished 4th in an A5 on June 19 over 480m at this track behind Laghile John beaten 6 lengths (29.60). Thereabouts of late and rates highly this line-up. Expected to be in the finish.
