Limerick Race 3

525 Yds (A4)

Stake: $646

KNOCKBAWN AZZA (4) showed plenty of dash to record a last start win. Hard to beat again. FIRE PIN (5) drew trap 5 last start and was game in defeat when a close second, 1.5 lengths from Abigails Batman (29.54) at this track. Comes out of a solid form race last start. Can feature again. BALLINULTY JESS (2) was well fancied last time on the back of some sparkling form, which included a two-start winning streak, but could only manage third (29.57) at this track. Still to record a win from this draw but has never missed the frame in two starts. Can find winning form. LAWRENTIAN STAR (6) cannot be overlooked following a recent top-three finish from this box.

Quickly away last start and finished third over 480m at this track from this same draw. Broke a two-start winning streak with the placing last time. Can bounce back.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by 0.8 lengths over 480m at this track in a handy 29.37, beating Hazelhill Anna. Sure to be about the mark.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to finish third over 480m at this track. May find this a bit too tough.
