Limerick Race 11

525 Yds (A5)

Stake: $617

HONEYPOUND TEMPO (4) has some solid form under his belt and proved too classy last time to win by a neck at this track in a handy 29.82 beating Lickadoon Runner. Looks to have an edge on most of these. DAYSTAR (1) has missed the frame at his last two but did run well three back when second (29.50) in an A4 at this track. Has the ability and looks a key chance here. KNOCKBAWN MAGIC (6) stalked the lead after a clean break from trap 5 and went on to finish second (29.53) at this track in an A6 over 480m. Expected to be in the finish again. LION AND LEGEND (3) has a solid strike rate from this box.

Last start finished 4th in an A5 on April 3 over 480m at this track behind Tyrap Blossom beaten 48 lengths (1:39.99). Some good form emerging from that last run. Among the chances.

Racing consistently, including a win two back at this track, before a 3 length third (29.67) over 480m at this track last time. Rates highly on best form. Expected to feature.

Could only manage fourth last time out over 480m at this track, adding to some plain results of late. Can't recommend in this field.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by a neck over 480m at this track in a handy 29.82, beating Lickadoon Runner. Top chance again.
