Thurles Race 2 - 525 Yds (A3)
WHIRL (6) scored a 7 length win this course and distance last time in a personal Best Time (29.15) and also clocked one of the quickest wins on the card. Top win latest and looms as the one to beat again. CABRA KIM (2) turned spotting a big start finishing fourth (30.15) last time in an A3 at this track. Expected to feature in the finish. ACES YOUNG (5) is a capable type and proved too classy last time to win by 2.5 lengths at this track in a handy 29.27 beating Grimbot Laya. Form should stack up. KILKENNY RINGO (4) is a last start winner who can measure up again.

Form slipped last start when she finished last on June 13 over 480m at this track behind Carneys Firmino beaten 12 lengths (29.99) in an A3. Likely to find this a bit tough.

Not seen at best last start when he finished 4th in an A2 on July 4 over 480m at this track behind Borna Bantam beaten 7 lengths (29.94). Will not find this easy. Not keen.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by 2.5 lengths over 480m at this track in a handy 29.27, beating Grimbot Laya. Makes plenty of appeal on that latest effort.
