Clonmel Race 11

525 Yds (A4)

Stake: $680

STEPTOTHECOMMONS (1) turned in a modest effort most recently when sixth at Waterford over 480m behind Crohane Ripple (29.39) in an A3. Has ability and is a key runner. JIMMYS SWIFT (2) trailed the lead and fought on well to be beaten 2.5 lengths into second (29.11) at this track in an A4 over 480m. Has a win and three minor placings from four starts from this draw. Can feature again. BIONIC BEAR (3) is still a maiden after 10 runs but rarely out of the placings, the latest filling a minor again when fifth at this track. Likely to be about the mark. BRIGHT PICKLE (4) is a last start winner who rates one of the chances again.

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

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by half a length over 480m at this track in a handy 29.53, beating Emers Iris. Makes plenty of appeal on the back of the latest win.

Form has been sound without winning, placing at his last four starts, the latest when third (29.11) over 480m at this track. Overdue a win and gets his chance to break through.
