Limerick Race 4

525 Yds (A5)

Stake: $656

GOWER CHASE (1) broke through for his maiden success two back but could manage only midfield last time when finished fourth and beaten 4.5 lengths at this track over 480m (29.65). Yet to win here but has run some good races. Look for sharp improvement here. SHANAKYLE BLUE (2) was prominent throughout when winning two back but could manage only midfield last time when 6th and beaten 7 lengths at this track (29.87). Expected to run well. HI EMPRESS (6) stalked the lead and fought on well to finish 3 lengths away in second (29.58) at this track in an A5 over 480m. Consistent performer from this draw with a win and three minor placings to her credit. Will give a great sight again. BALLYGIBBA ROSE (4) should bounce back after an unplaced effort here recently.

Could only manage fifth last time out over 480m at this track, a continuation of some ordinary form. Shouldn't trouble the top few hopes.

Last start finished last on October 23 over 480m at this track behind Cherrygrove Orca beaten 8 lengths (30.27) in an A5. Capable of much better. Worth keeping safe.

Racing consistently, including a win three back at this track, before placings at last two runs, the latest when third (29.88) over 480m at this track. Others hold stronger claims.

Didn't fire two runs back then progressed nicely last time to finish second over 480m at this track. Looks to have turned things around so follow her up.
