Limerick Race 1 - 525 Yds (AA0)
BALLYCOWEN FRANK (3) used the inside draw to advantage and ran away with a most impressive win, scoring by 8 lengths at Curraheen Park over 480m (28.20). Hard to go past form here, unbeaten in three starts. Has a solid record from this box including two wins and a minor placing. Hard to go past. JIMS GEM (1) finished in the minors last time but only a few starts back broke the clock when winning over 480m at Kilkenny, taking an A0 in an excellent 28.98. Expected to feature on best figures. SHUDACUDAWOUDA (2) goes very well at the distance with two wins and a placing from five starts. Recorded a 3.5 lengths win (28.88) in an A2 last time at this track. Looks one of the chances. SILVERHILL BUCKO (4) placed last time out so worth considering.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to finish second over 480m at Kilkenny. Can take this out on the back of that sound recent effort.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by 8 lengths over 480m at Curraheen Park in a handy 28.20, beating Fahee Phantom. Boasts a course and distance PB in a lightning 28.3. Top chance.
