Thurles Race 5 - 525 Yds (A2)
RAHYVIRA BLUE (6) trailed the lead and fought on well to be beaten 3 lengths into second (29.06) at this track in an A2 over 480m. Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors. Expected to feature in the finish again. EXCESS CASH (1) goes very well here starting 28 times for 12 wins and nine minors. Placed last time (28.94) at this track in an A2, finishing third and beaten 2 lengths. With even luck and a clean start can sneak into the finish. BORNA WISP (4) was strongly fancied on the back of a win two starts ago but finished fourth last time (29.00) at this track. Has a solid record from this box including three wins and a minor placing. Should be about the mark. CABRA CHIEF (3) was strongly supported last start but missed the frame when fifth (29.14), beaten 11 lengths.
