Limerick Race 1

525 Yds (A3)

Stake: $736

JACOP STAR (5) held his own to the line last start and filled a minor placing, beaten only one length (29.11) behind Carrigmore Dawn at this track. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last start. Can find winning form. SHANAKYLE VALLEY (3) has been in sparkling form, last time breaking from this same trap to win an A4 at this track (29.29) and making it five straight wins. Expected to feature again. MELLON SOPHIE (1) has mixed form a little and missed the frame the last two but was an A4 winner three back (29.16) at this track over 480m. Expected to bounce back to best. TYRAP BENJI (4) is among the chances again if he runs up to the latest effort.
