Limerick Race 7

550 Yds (Aa0)

Stake: $4,940

SYDS BUTTON (2) scored last time and can measure up again. BAREFOOT ON FIRE (1) continued his winning form with another strong run after box seating to make it back to back wins at Towcester over 500m (29.38). Comes through a solid form race last start. Expected to be right there at the finish again. TOOLMAKER JOSEPE (3) boasts strong form at this course and distance having won two times from three starts. Below best last time at this track (28.58) in an AA0, finishing a 3 length fourth. Looks suited here and can measure up. ALVA MIST (5) was strongly fancied last time but finished second (31.19), beaten 2.5 lengths. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last start. Racing well and deserves a win.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by a neck over 500m at Towcester in a handy 29.38, beating Fatboyz Harvey. Looks well placed to make it three straight.

Scored by 8 lengths last time (32.33) in an A0 over 549m at this track. Boasts good form here at the journey with six wins and four minor placings from 11 tries. Among the main chances.

Had won two on end but missed the hat-trick last start when fourth and beaten 3 lengths (28.58) in an AA0 over 480m at this track. Deserves another chance.

Got back early in the race last start when sixth over 549m at this track. Before that won comfortably by 13 lengths at this track (28.37) beating Cash Reward in a ON2 on March 29. Can't recommend against this lot.

Form has been sound without winning, placing at his last three starts, the latest when second (31.19) over 526m at Shelbourne Park. Can't recommend him in this.
