Thurles Race 9 - 525 Yds (Aa0)
ORIENTAL KING (1) has an excellent record over this course and distance having never missed the placings in three starts, including two wins. Comes off a (28.31) win last time, scoring by 2.5 lengths in an AA0 over 480m at this track. Has the ability and looks a key chance here. FLEETING MOMENT (2) is progressing well and looks close to another win after hitting the frame last run (28.96) at this track. Hard to beat again. BOGGER TOMMY (3) is progressing well and looks close to another win after hitting the frame last run (28.82) at this track. Has a strong winning record here. Goes very well from this draw with six wins and three minor placings from 10 starts. Nicely placed to grab a well-deserved win. BILLS HARBOUR (4) scored last time and can measure up again.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by 2.5 lengths over 480m at this track in a handy 28.31, beating Paulstown Cash. Makes plenty of appeal on the back of the latest win.

Racing well of late. In the money two starts back at this track then finished runner-up at his latest appearance in an AA0 at this track over 480m (28.82). Decent recent form so demands respect.

Handy type with a solid strike-rate. Winner two back then well fancied last time and could manage only third over 480m at this track in 28.55. Thereabouts at the last couple. Suited here and likely to run well.

In the money at this track at his last couple of starts, most recently finishing second over 480m. No easier here and faces a tough task.
