Limerick Race 9

525 Yds (Aa0)

Stake: $4,940

FUN INTHE RUN (6) had won three starts on end leading into the last outing when strongly fancied but could only manage sixth (28.86) at this track. Has a solid record from this box including four wins and a minor placing. Worth another chance. ADAMANTCONQUEROR (4) has a strong record this trip including three wins from four starts. Was out of placings last time (28.89) at this track in an AA0, finishing fourth and beaten 3.5 lengths. Looks suited here and can measure up. GALLANT HUNTER (3) finished fourth last time but the start prior broke the clock when winning over 480m at this track, taking an AA0 in a flying 28.47. Should be in this for a long way. BALLINABOLA JOE (2) was a ON1 winner three back then not far from the the winner the last two, the latest a close-up fifth (1:39.99) at this track over in an AA0 latest. Meets a moderate line up and rates on top this time.

Good performance after taking an early lead to score in an A1 by 2 len at Curraheen Park over 480m (28.47). Prefer to watch at this stage.

Latest effort finished last on March 22 over 480m at this track behind Brideside Bill beaten (1:39.99) in an AA0. The form out of the last run measures up. Hard to beat.

Missed the placings at the final run of his last campaign, finishing fourth over 503m at Shelbourne Park on December 7. Has had one runs first-up and has placed once. Expect him to be prominent.

Racked up three wins on the trot before finishing sixth (28.86) in an AA0 over 480m at this track last time. Forgive the latest effort. Great chance to atone.
