Limerick Race 7 - Kevin McManus Bookmaker Champion (Pro/Am) Flat Race (Listed)
A horse bred for the flat COOLE CAFE (8) looks to have ability making it three wins from the first four starts of her career after victories at Navan and most recently adopting a first time hood by 3.5L at Naas in February. Could prove hard to beat. BRADY HARTSFIELD (3) caught the eye when keen and green on debut finishing just under 1L second at Punchestown last month. Patrick Mullins is a positive booking. Consider. APACHE PEAK (1) finished second providing initial hurdling attempt. Since been runner-up in two jumpers flats including behind the main selection recently. One to note. CINATING (7) might improve on debutante outing. Dangerous.

This Maxios gelding is a four-year-old having his first start. Hard to recommend without a market push.

Was at very long odds at debut, 7th of 12 at Naas on January 25 over 3218m, in the wet; 26 len behind Kai Lung with 66.5kg at $81. Don't think she will trouble this field.

Four-year-old filly by National Defense out of Parlous having her first start. Profiles well and worth consideration.

Comes here off a 43-day let-up. Last start scored a big 3.5 len win at Naas February 7 over 3118m defeating Apache Peak with 68kg at $6. The race before that 7th of 9 at Naas on January 9 over 3218m, slow going 28 len behind Quiryn carrying 71kg at $7. Sure to be in the finish.
