Limerick Race 6 - Play Perysbingo.com Veterans Handicap Chase
ROCKY'S HOWYA (2) arrives in sparkling form having won back to back outings among claiming company. The most recent success was at Naas last week. Revisiting fences won't be an issue and looks hard to fault. DANCING JEREMY (1) will find this much more realistic than two starts ago. Obliged by 1.5L at Thurles three weeks back and rates highly. WEST CORK WILDWAY (3) frustrated last couple of attempts. Cannot ruled out in this open race. CASEY WEST (7) maintained a consistent level of form before pulling up four weeks ago at Gowran Park. Worth giving another chance tackling this veterans contest.

Third-up today and won third-up in the past. Resuming raced on the pace prior to fading finished fifth of 8 runners at this track in the LR on December 28 over 3922m, 33 len behind Ballybawn Belter carrying 63kg at $13. Second-up won by 1.5 len Thurles on February 19 over 3621m defeating Broomfield Bijou carrying 73kg at $11 in a steeplechase. Fitter now and making headway every start. Likely to figure once more.

Chasing a hat-trick. Last start to post a big 21 len win. Naas on March 4 over 4425m defeating Fenway Park with 68.5kg at $1.70 in a flat. Race before to post a big 20 len win. This track on February 10 over 4224m on heavy track defeating Embittered with 68.5kg at $2.60 in a hurdle. Sure to improve again. Clearly the one they have to beat again.
