Limerick Race 7 - Kevin McManus Bookmaker Champion (Pro/Am) Flat Race (Listed)
COOLE CAFE (8) Gave nothing else a chance when winning by 3 1/2L last start at Naas and up against weaker rivals. Has won 2 from 3 starts this preparation. Strong hope. APACHE PEAK (1) Ran well when 2nd last start at Naas and drops back to a suitable grade. Been in the money 2 from 2 attempts this campaign and promising career start. Must respect in this event. CINATING (7) Competitive effort when 3rd last time at Leopardstown and having second career run. Taking on a lower class of opponents. Capable of forward showing and can be competitive. BRADY HARTSFIELD (3) Tidy effort when 2nd last run at Punchestown and was on debut last time. P W Mullins is a pivotal booking and facing a weaker grade. Has the ability to take this out.

Did well when 2nd last start at Naas and up against a less competitive field. Has run into the placings at every start this preparation. One of the punters top hopes at a very generous price.

Tidy run when 2nd last run at Punchestown and was a debutant last start. P W Mullins is an advantage and competing in a less challenging grade. Has claims.

Jumped at $81.00 and ran 7th last run in a hurdle at Naas but having second race start. Will find this grade easier. Unlikely to feature.

Came in 3rd last time at Leopardstown and fitter for debut run. Stepping down to a lower level. Strong prospects.

Pulled away to win by a margin of 3 1/2L last start at Naas and matched against a less competitive field. Very competitive this preparation and solid career start. Good winning chance.
