Thurles Race 1 - 525 Yds (A4)
KNOCKROE JERSEY (2) goes very well this trip starting eight times for three wins and three minors. Was out of placings last time (30.38) at this track in an A4, finishing fourth and beaten 13 lengths. Looks suited and should go close. CABRA KEISER (4) is a capable type and proved too classy last time to win by 4.5 lengths at this track in a handy 29.47 beating Hollyhill Max. Can measure up again. GORTKELLY PIXIE (1) was well fancied last time on the strength of his recent form but could only manage second (29.78) at this track. Goes well out of this box with a win and two minor placings. Can measure up. BULL RUN BEAST (3) has claims fresh from a recent placing at this track and distance.

Racing well of late. In the money two starts back at this track then finished runner-up at his latest appearance in an A4 at this track over 480m (29.78). Not to be underestimated.

In the money at this track at his last couple of starts, most recently finishing third over 480m. Won't find this much tougher. Definite contender.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by 4.5 lengths over 480m at this track in a handy 29.47, beating Hollyhill Max. Has a solid record from this draw, including three wins. Expected to go well.

Could only manage fourth when resuming last start over 521m at this track in an A4 (32.56). Improved on the run but might struggle in this field.

Could only manage fifth last time out over 480m at this track, a continuation of some ordinary form. Not keen, needs to lift.
