Limerick Race 8 - Irish Stallion Farms Ebf (Pro/Am) Auction Flat Race
WATCHFUL PROTECTOR (10) arguably sets the form standard after placings at this course and Fairyhouse. Seemed to appreciate conditions when third on debut tackling track and trip. Top chance. L' EVANGELISTE (2) received a small freshen since finishing third in a thirteen runner course contest. Drops back in distance with solid credentials. EMILY LOVE (11) boasts some useful point to point form. Interesting if translating that to a rules race. FRUIT DE MER (6) made a successful point to point debut at Ballycrystal. Expected to run well with place potential.

Third race start. First start didn't finish the race at Borris House P2p April 28 over 4828m. Went for a break before returning 5th of 10 at Fairyhouse on February 22 over 3218m, slow going 26 len behind Kaiser Ball with 73kg at $2.10. Strips fitter this time and is one of the chances.
