Limerick Race 6

525 Yds (A5)

Stake: $627

VARRA WHISTLER (1) was prominent early from trap 4 and did a fair job to be beaten half a length into second (29.43) at this track in an A4 over 480m. One of the leading chances. YELDA (2) was midfield throughout and finished there last time when 4th (29.49) at this track. Solid formlines coming through her last run. Cannot be underestimated. BANKER ALICE (5) turned in a plain run last time when fifth at this track over 480m behind Jacop Star (30.37) in an A5. Can measure up this time. RIVERVALE CUZ (3) has won at this course and distance, cannot be ruled out.

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

Latest effort finished 4th on June 26 over 480m at this track behind Tyrap Opera beaten 3 lengths (29.49) in an A4. Some good form is emerging from that last run. Expected to prove hard to beat.
