Limerick Race 2 - Irish Stallion Farms EBF (C & G) Maiden
THE PUBLICAN'S SON (11) is evidently held in high regard having contested a G3 on debut in August (1200m) coming home a close 0.75L second. Not disgraced in either Group starts since. This is a gilt-edged chance. ZENFORD (12) matched the debut result when beaten 5.5L third at the Curragh last month. Will likely have taken plenty from that. Main danger. GOD OF POWER (6) has been gelded since last seen in December. Solid effort providing first run though disappointed second time. Can recover. Stablemates to the selection BIG CYPRESS (2) and CASAMORATI (3) can step forward from their respective initial outing. Check the market.

On debut fourth of 13 at Dundalk All Weather November 21 over 1609m, 1.0 len behind Evening Blues carrying 59.5kg at $5.50. Likely to return bigger and better this prep.
