Thurles Race 3 - 525 Yds (A5)
CHARMING MIKE (3) has been in the placings at his last two runs, most recently when third (29.72) in an A4 over 480m at this track. Better than last run and makes appeal this time. EBONYS TRAVIS (1) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing fifth (30.02) last time in an A5 at this track. Some good form is emerging from his last run. Leading chance. CABRA KOSTAS (4) was strongly fancied last time on the back of a win two back but could only manage second (29.66) at this track. Consistent performer from this draw with a win and six minor placings to his credit. Expected to feature again. DUNSTEIN (5) is building a nice sequence of placings – hard to fault that form.

Returned from a break last start with a fifth (30.02) over 480m at this track in an A5. Much improved for this and is a leading contender.

Didn't fire two runs back then progressed nicely last time to be beaten just 1.5 lengths into second over 480m at this track. Cannot enthuse despite that better recent effort.

Winner two starts back at this track over 480m in 30.08. Last start filled a minor placing over 480m at this track in A5. Should be around the mark.

Yet to break through in two runs but has been thereabouts. Jumped well and led latest before fading to second (29.56) at this track over 480m. Should be much improved on the experience. Has ability and among the chances.

Not seen at best last start when he finished last on May 2 over 480m at this track behind Chiltern Cutie beaten 7 lengths (30.92) in an A5. Predicted to struggle on this occasion.
