Limerick Race 5 - Irish Stallion Farms Ebf Martin Molony Stakes (Listed)
QUEENSTOWN (2) represents a top yard and was placed at G3 level last year. Last seen in October finishing in mid-division in the 3600m Cesarewitch Heritage Handicap at Newmarket (Rowley). Respect on season return. LEMSAIRBAT (5) brings consistent place form including a 2.25L second in the 2400m G3 Munster Oaks at Cork. Main danger. LAYFAYETTE (1) is a smart eight-year-old who was a decent fourth two weeks ago at Leopardstown. Claims. DRAWN TO DREAM (3) may make the frame.

Third-up today and won third-up in the past. Resuming ran last in a small field at Leopardstown in the LR Amethyst Stakes on May 11 over 1609m, 5 len behind Chicago Critic with 61kg at $51. Second run from a spell 4th of 7 at Leopardstown in LR on June 5 over 1810m, 3.5 len behind Green Impact with 61kg at $34. Terrific chance to return to form.

Form hard to fault. Most recently 2nd of 10 at Cork in the G3 Munster Oaks on June 13 over 2414m, 2.25 len behind Magical Hope carrying 61kg at $19. Before that 3rd of 8 at Gowran Park on May 21 over 1911m, 2 len behind Deressa carrying 64.5kg at $3. Looks hard to beat again in this easier level.
