Limerick Race 8 - Irish Stallion Farms Ebf (Pro/Am) Auction Flat Race
BORDER LAD (2) made a successful winning debut in a point to point two months ago. Joins Henry De Bromhead and wears a hood for the first time while stable has produced a couple of winners in this sphere so rates highly. JURY TIME (6) eventually got off the mark on her third start in a point to point. Made steady progress in two attempts under rules and could prove hard to beat. BOIS D'ANGOS (1) was beaten 12L on debut. Might take a sizeable step forward on this second start under rules. Watch the market for chances of ALZURS THUNDER (3) who was a point winner but was pulled up last month on stable debut.

Second-up. First start didn't finish the race at Farmacaffley P2p February 22 2025 over 4828m. Went for a break before returning in a small field at Fairyhouse on February 21 over 3319m, on heavy track; 12 len behind Look Me carrying 73kg at $12. Back in good shape and is among the chances.

Five-year-old gelding (Califet - Journeyrose) at the races for the first time. Likely to be better for this experience.

Was at big odds at debut, 5th of 7 at Gowran Park on February 14 over 3419m, on rain affected going; 29 len behind Nan's Choice with 72.5kg at $34. Don't think she will trouble this field.
