Thurles Race 5 - Killinan Handicap
ANGELO PIO (1) is racing consistently with two wins and two placed efforts previous five starts including missing 0.75L to place third at The Curragh. Won twice at Down Royal in that sequence. Leading contender. SEARS CROSSING (2) is yet to shed the maiden tag. Aims to turn two runner-up efforts into a win after placing second at Roscommon and Listowel. May go one better. JUSTENZIA (6) returns quickly after finishing fourth at Killarney on Monday. With a claimer on board might prove competitive. Thereabouts. LADY PLIMSOLL (5) secured a victory before a fifth at Naas on latest outing. Might bounce back.

At the latest run 4th of 11 at Killarney on October 6 over 1609m, on a slow track; 2.25 len behind Spanish Temptress carrying 61.5kg at $4.50. Before that didn't finish the race at Listowel September 22 over 2212m. Showed enough last start to suggest she can take this out.
