Limerick Race 5

525 Yds (A5)

Stake: $618

DAYSTAR (4) missed the frame last time but prior to that was an effortless A5 winner (29.62) at this track, scoring by 3 lengths. Expecting sharp improvement this line-up. ALLAGHAUN BENJI (5) was well backed last start but ran below expectations when fifth (30.00), beaten 4 lengths. Key player if finds best. HIDDEN HOLLY (2) stalked the lead and fought on well to finish 3.5 lengths away in second (29.67) at this track in an A5 over 480m. Can measure up. LICKADOON RANGE (3) was well fancied in betting last start but could only manage 6 lengths away in third (29.54). The form from his last run is stacking up nicely. Nicely placed to grab a well-deserved win.

Not seen at best last start when he finished 4th on June 5 over 480m at this track behind Ready To Shine beaten 7 lengths (29.93) in an A5. Draws the inside but looks tested.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to finish second over 480m at this track. Cannot be overlooked based on that sound recent effort.

In the money two back then disappointed when he finished 5th in an A4 on June 5 over 480m at this track behind Cherrygrove Ice beaten 4 lengths (30.00). Fought on last time. Has the ability and right in the mix.

Has been beaten for early speed in recent runs which is proving costly. Last time out finished sixth over 480m at this track. Predicted to struggle on this occasion.
