Limerick Race 2

525 Yds (A0)

Stake: $4,940

WE GOT THIS (6) has shown good improvement at his last two starts, finishing in the money last time when 2nd at this track over 480m. Winning claims. STARSON KATIE (4) wasn't far away at the finish when 4th and beaten only 5 lengths (33.02) at this track. Form from her last run is proving to be solid. In the mix. BLASTOFF RICKY (3) was strongly fancied on the back of a win two starts ago but finished fifth last time (28.65) at this track. The form from his last run stacks up well. BATTLING YANK (5) has been in super consistent form recently with four minors on end before missing the frame latest finishing sixth (1:39.99) at Clonmel. Form from his last run is proving to be solid. Should be about the money.

Comments

Below his best last time over 480m at Shelbourne Park (28.84) in an AA0, finishing 3 lengths away in fourth. Strong record at this track and trip with six wins and nine placings from 17 starts. Key player and should go well.

Got back early in the race last start when fifth over 480m at this track. Before that won by half a length at this track (28.64) beating Bogger Pat in an AA0 on March 29. Look for improvement. Not out of it.

Missed the placings at the final run of his last campaign, finishing sixth over 480m at Clonmel on December 6. Has a win and a minor from two runs when first-up. Looks set to run well.

Finished fourth two starts ago then regained form last time out when he found one better over 480m in an AA0 at this track. Better last time but not convinced this is his race.
