Thurles Race 5 - 525 Yds (A5)
BALLINALICK BONO (5) was a winner (29.68) at this track two back but out of the placings last time when 6th there. Solid record here at the distance winning 10 races. Has ability and is a key runner. ACES YOUNG (4) was in the money last time at this track (29.69) in an A5, finishing a 5.5 lengths third. Already a winner from this trap. Looks one of the chances. BULL RUN KIWI (3) was well in the market last time but only managed fourth (29.84), beaten 6 lengths. Was in the money the start prior. Solid formlines coming through her last run. Has ability and can measure up. NORDEN RAIDER (6) is a last-start placegetter out of the same box - should be thereabouts.

Form slipped last start when he finished 4th on May 16 over 480m at this track behind Leyland Run beaten 7 lengths (30.08) in an A5. Will not find this easy. Not keen.

Showed little last start over 480m at this track when beaten 10 len (30.02) behind Leyland Run on May 23. Shouldn't trouble the top few hopes.

In the money two back then disappointed when she finished 4th on May 19 over 480m at this track behind Charming Mike beaten 6 lengths (29.84) in an A5. Look for improvement. Not out of it.

Racing consistently, including a win two back at this track, before a 5.5 lengths third (29.69) over 480m at this track last time. Should prove hard to beat.

Winner two starts back at this track when scoring by 2 lengths in 29.68. Last start finished last in an A5 on May 19 over 480m at this track behind Bull Run Bucko beaten 75 lengths (1:39.99). Well placed here and can atone.

In the money at this track at her last couple of starts, most recently finishing third over 480m. Won't find this much harder. Right in the mix.
