Killarney Race 5 - Brehon Hotel Handicap
MUSASHI (7) responded well to a first time gelding operation at Dundalk last month when finishing 2.25L adrift in second place. Visor fitted that day is now replaced by blinkers and up in trip further he is entitled to go very close. HONOURAMONGTHIEVES (1) produced the best run of his career at this track in October tackling heavy ground. Will handle this journey and deserves plenty of respect. CELESTIALLY (9) managed to take a step in the right direction six weeks ago running fourth. Still early days and can be given another chance. CAMECLOSE (10) now has blinkers fitted. Offered minor promise when fourth at Dundalk. May improve.
