Thurles Race 6 - Killinan Hcp
CLADACH (5) On a quick back up. Did well when 3rd last run at Killarney and rising in distance. Likely to get back in the field. Julian Pietropaolo provides some weight relief. Winnable race. THE AUSTRIAN (1) Showed promise when winning by 2L last start at Listowel and solid career start. Should race on the speed. Been in the money 2 from 2 attempts this preparation. Fights on bravely so consider. NERMAL (4) Ran 8th last run at Dundalk. Should improve from the last run and competing in a lower grade. Should jump out and bowl along. Going up in weight. Has the ability to figure. VANTAGE CODE (3) Ordinary performance when 8th last run at Listowel but has drawn the rails. Can go through the gears. Could find a place.
