Limerick Race 3

525 Yds (A7)

Stake: $623

HONEYPOUND SOFIA (1) was midfield throughout and finished there last time when 4th (29.75) at this track. Should be very hard to beat this time. CHERRYGROVE ORCA (4) has a fair record and proved too classy last time to win by 4.5 lengths at this track in a handy 30.00 beating Westwind Cabra. Form should stack up. DUCK MAGGIE (6) turned in a moderate run last time when fifth at this track over 480m behind Hidden Grace (30.35) in an A7. Was a winner prior to that. Deserves plenty of respect. BALLYELAN SALLY (5) is in the mix despite finishing out of the placings here last start.

Latest effort finished 4th in an A5 on May 8 over 480m at this track behind Tiermana Sky beaten 3.5 lengths (29.75). Consistent performer from this box. Top chance on best form.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to be beaten just 1.5 lengths into third over 480m at this track. Back on track last time but this looks a stern test.

Disappointed last start over 480m at this track when beaten 6 len (30.20) behind Millmount Rocky on May 1. Shouldn't trouble the top few hopes.

Last start finished last over 480m at this track beaten 7 lengths (30.27) behind Millmount Rocky in an A7 on May 1. Mixing her form but shapes as a genuine contender under these conditions.

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 (29.90) beating Ballymartin Gary in an A7 on May 1. Racing well and has to be included.
