Thurles Race 8 - 525 Yds (A2)
VIRGIL TIBBS (5) is a strong form, jumping from this same trap to score (28.90) by 3 lengths in an A1 at this track last time and making it back to back wins. Can continue winning ways. KILKENNY RINGO (1) turned spotting a big start finishing fourth (1:39.99) last time in an A2 at this track. Solid record here at the distance winning four races. Can measure up this time. KNOCKROE JERSEY (4) has a strong record this track and trip with four wins and three placings from 10 starts. Below best last time at Waterford (29.54) in an A0, finishing a 13 length fifth. Looks well placed here and among the chances. MAXIMUS POWER (2) has been a model of consistency and deserves plenty of thought.

Form has been sound without winning, placing at his last four starts, the latest when third (29.21) over 480m at Newbridge. Going better than form suggests. Don't underestimate.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to finish second over 480m at this track. Back on track last time but this looks a stern test.

Was out of the placings last time over 480m at Waterford (29.54) in an A0, beaten 13 lengths. Strong record at this track and trip with four wins and three placings from 10 starts. Can feature with the right run.

In-form with wins at his last two, most recently over 480m at this track on September 5 in 28.90. Form strong and a huge chance to register the hat-trick.
