Limerick Race 4

525 Yds (A7)

Stake: $463

SHANAKYLE VALLEY (2) has a fair record and proved too strong last time to win by 0.8 lengths at this track in a handy 29.90 beating BANKER ALICE. Has never been out of the placings from three starts out of this box. Hard to go past. THANKS BLUE (1) filled a minor placing last start at this track behind Shanakyle Park (29.90) in an A6. Has the pace to be prominent. Can feature again. BANKER ALICE (4) is going well, finishing in the placings twice in a row. Not beaten far last time when a 0.8 lengths second (29.95) in an A7 at this track. BEL CANTO (6) is worth another chance despite missing the top-three here most recently.

Finished second last start over 480m at this track behind Shanakyle Park in an A6. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Found one better last time. Well placed and worth following up.

Good performance after racing on the speed to score in an A7 by 0.8 len at this track over 480m (29.90). Can make it two on the bounce.

In the money two back then disappointed when he finished 5th over 480m at this track beaten 7 lengths (30.41) behind Shanakyle Valley in an A7 on November 7. Should be around the mark.

Followed a minor placing at this track two runs ago with a sound second, beaten 0.8 lengths, last start in an A7 at this track over 480m (29.95). In solid form and can win without surprising.
