Conference & Banqueting Facilities @ Limerick Handicap
Prediction Leader
Servare (USA)
0%
Off the mark on seasonal return at Navan in March (1m2f, heavy); not so good in 1m4f events since, upset in stalls at Cork and made much of running in first-time cheekpieces at Leopardstown before fading; headgear left off now but remains unproven at this trip; drops in grade.
Rest of field
Cascade Canyon (IRE)
0%
Handicap debutant whose three maiden runs have been at 1m2f; potential improver upped in trip but opposable off this opening mark.
Leeward (IRE)
0%
Well-bred son of Frankel hasn't made an impact in three maidens over shorter but could improve for this step up in trip on handicap debut.
Blissful Bonita (IRE)
0%
Didn't count but not beaten far on last month's handicap debut (behind Femme Beauty) at Killarney over slightly shorter; cheekpieces now added so don't rule out.
Chestnut Palace (IRE)
0%
Just okay efforts in two handicaps, not looking to stay 1m4f at Leopardstown and again didn't get home under a positive ride over 1m2f at Down Royal; cheekpieces now added but obvious stamina concerns.
Kirkland Sioux (IRE)
0%
Sioux Nation filly has failed to make an impact in three maidens over shorter; upped markedly in trip for handicap debut and can't be ruled out (dam won over this trip).
Delusional (IRE)
0%
Recent 1m3f Killarney handicap (first-time visor) third to Femme Beauty a definite step in the right direction; one to consider from a yard hitting form.
The Holy Apostle (IRE)
0%
Standout 2yo effort when placed in Killarney nursery; quite exposed and will need to improve for this step up in trip on seasonal debut.
Glen Echo (IRE)
0%
No show when well held in three decent maidens in the spring; seems the lesser likely of the Cromwell pair on handicap debut.
Lord Aus (IRE)
0%
Eye-catching handicap debut at Down Royal last month when strong-finishing third third (Chestnut Palace 2.75l away fourth) over 1m2f, still looking green; longer trip seems sure to suit and cheekpieces added; big player.
Femme Beauty (IRE)
0%
Got a good ride from the front on speed-favouring track when winning over 1m3f at Killarney last month; didn't seem to get home over 1m4f at Roscommon six days later; 10lb claimer back aboard here.
Retro Gal (GB)
0%
Never competitive in three maidens over 1m; half-sister to 1m2f AW winner and is out of a Nathaniel mare, so good chance this trip will suit; market has to be watched on handicap debut.
Amethyst Stone (IRE)
0%
Hasn't counted in three maidens over middle-distances but likely improver upped in trip on handicap debut; yard in top form.
Celestially (IRE)
0%
Navan fourth (to Servare) on handicap debut was a step in the right direction but never sighted at Killarney behind Femme Beauty; handicapper relenting but more needed and cheekpieces tried.
Royal Sapphire (IRE)
0%
Maiden is 0-7 over shorter trips, three times this year; could improve for the step up in trip but others look more likely.
Point Cartwright (IRE)
0%
Late headway on handicap debut over 1m2f at Ballinrobe last month suggests this longer trip may suit; one to consider.
Brave Approach (IRE)
0%
First reserve; winning handicap debut (1m) at Dundalk in March but safely held twice afterwards at same track; marked step up in trip for turf return and others preferred.
Curious Jane (IRE)
0%
Second reserve; three maiden runs poor, probably best watched on handicap debut.
Sofi's Gift (IRE)
0%
Third reserve; beaten a long way in three maidens in the spring; hard to fancy now entering handicaps.
