Limerick Race 1 - Racingtv.com Mares Hurdle
BABY KATE (1) Below par when 5th last run in a hurdle at Punchestown. Should improve from the last run but dropping in distance. Willie P Mullins yard are on a hot streak. Has an engine that others will struggle to keep up with. BLUE WATERS (2) First up after a break. Sub-standard effort when 5th last run in a hurdle at Navan. Looking for an improved run but will be dropping in distance. Goes close. EYE OF A TIGER (3) First up and looked good when 3rd first up last preparation in a hurdle at Down Royal. The large claim from Michael Kenneally helps. Include in chances. MISS CORBY (4) Finished 8th last time in a hurdle at Gowran Park and back in trip. Has plenty of early speed. Large claim helps.

Jumped at $4.00 and disappointing display when 5th last run in a hurdle at Punchestown. Should improve from the last run but down in trip. Has every chance.

Back after a break. Performed below standard when 5th last run in a hurdle at Navan. Looking for an improved run but dropping back to a shorter trip. Watch the betting.

First up and looked good when 3rd first up last preparation in a hurdle at Down Royal. Michael Kenneally takes a large claim. Could win this.
