Limerick Race 5

525 Yds (A2)

Stake: $758

BONOS CHOICE (6) got around the 480m at this track to take an A2 in a swift 28.92 for a 2 length victory. Rates a top chance again if runs up to latest. SNUGGIE BENNY (5) stalked the lead from the inside draw then took over turning and burst clear to score (29.12) at this track in an A2 over 480m. Recorded the quickest time on the card last start. Deserves serious consideration again. AIRFIELD THUNDER (3) is a talented type and proved too classy last time to win by 0.8 lengths at this track in a handy 29.44 beating Carrigmore Sofia. Capable of going well again. BALLYGIBBA SAM (4) missed the placings here most recently but can sneak into the finish with the right run.

Could only manage fourth last time out over 480m at this track, a continuation of some ordinary form. Happy enough to avoid.

Good effort after taking an early lead to score in an A3 by 6 len at this track over 480m (28.81). Happy enough to dismiss in this field.

Comes off a (29.12) win last time, scoring by half a length in an A2 over 480m at this track. Boasts good form here at the journey with seven wins and five minor placings from 18 tries. Key player and should go well.
