1:35 IRISH STALLION FARMS EBF AUCTION MAIDEN 6F 160YDS

A competitive maiden to kick off and the Sheila Lavery-trained Sevenleft is given the nod. The son of Manduro has maintained a consistent level of form throughout the season, but there is a suspicion that this sharper test could well bring about improvement in him. He is worth taking a chance on. Of his rivals, the Johnny Murtagh-trained Stanley Daley will be a danger to all if building on the promise of his second start when fourth to Auld Enemy at Navan in May.

Selection: SEVENLEFT

Next Best: Stanley Daley

2:05 €19 MUNSTER MADNESS RACE 7F 50YDS

This represents a good opportunity for the John Oxx-trained In My Pocket to double his tally. The three-year-old looked a smart performer in the making when winning at Navan in April and he has gone on to acquit himself well in a listed race at Cork and in a similar race to this at Tipperary last time. However, there is every chance that this shorter trip will bring about more improvement in him and he will be very tough to beat. The other previous winner in the race is the Ger Lyons-trained The Ice Meister, but he has proven a bit disappointing in his two runs this season and looks to face a stiff task against the selection.

Selection: IN MY POCKET

Next Best: The Ice Meister

2:40 MCMAHON’S SUPPORTING LIMERICK COMMUNITY GAMES MAIDEN 7F 50YDS

The one that stands out is the Dermot Weld-trained Almanaara. The son of Shamardal was heavily-backed for the seven-furlong maiden at Naas that was won impressively by Blue De Vega, but he got no luck in running and had plenty left to give at the line. While his draw isn’t ideal, he is a smart prospect and could be able to overcome it. His main rival looks to be the David Wachman-trained Alaskan Son and he seems sure to run his race from his good draw.

Selection: ALMANAARA

Next Best: Alaskan Son

3:15 BEST OF LUCK TO PATRICKSWELL GAA IN THE COUNTY FINAL APPRENTICE HANDICAP 7F 50YDS

The John Joe Walsh-trained Apache Gold may be able to make best use of his favourable draw. The seven-year-old has returned to form of late and comes into this off the back of his sixth career win in a six-furlong handicap at his beloved Cork (four wins from nine starts there). A 3lb rise for that is fair and he should make another bold bid. The best of the rest may well be the Michael O’Callaghan-trained Bob’s The Business, with the three-year-old having shaped well on a couple of occasions when trained by Jessica Harrington.

Selection: APACHE GOLD

Next Best: Bob’s The Business

3:45 MCMAHON’S MUNSTER MILE HANDICAP 1M

It may be worth taking a chance on the John Joe Walsh-trained Lady Giselle. The five-year-old hasn’t has many chances to run at trips around a mile, with the majority of her starts coming over further, but her record over that trip is very good. The drying ground went against her at the Curragh last time, but back on this softer surface she can be expected to run well from her good draw. The best of her rivals could well prove to be the Ger Lyons-trained Third Dimension, with the four-year-old having belatedly returned to winning ways in impressive style at the Listowel Harvest Festival.

Selection: LADY GISELLE

Next Best: Third Dimension

4:20 KEANES LADIES DAY TOMORROW NURSERY HANDICAP 1M

Willie McCreery has his team in fine form and he could well have the answer to this puzzle in the shape of La Tendresse. The daughter of Raven’s Pass has shaped well in both her starts in nurseries, most notably when overcoming a poor draw to finish a close third at Cork last time. While she is again poorly drawn, she seems to be progressing and with the prevailing conditions being no fear for her, she is likely to go very close. One that finished just behind the selection at Cork that is likely to give her the most to think about is the Aidan O’Brien-trained Zig Zag.

Selection: LA TENDRESSE

Next Best: Zig Zag

4:55 LADBROKES MUNSTER NATIONAL TOMORROW AT LIMERICK RACECOURSE HANDICAP (47-65) 1M 3F 70YDS (DIV I)

Marginal preference is given to the Michael Mulvany-trained Annagh Haven. The five-year-old has been a model of consistency this season and with conditions in her favour, she looks to be a solid proposition. The best of the rest could well prove to be the Nigel Carolan-trained Last Garrison, with the three-year-old now returning to handicap company having faced a stiff task in a maiden last time.

Selection: ANNAGH HAVEN

Next Best: Last Garrison

5:30 LADBROKES MUNSTER NATIONAL TOMORROW AT LIMERICK RACECOURSE HANDICAP (47-65) 1M 3F 70YDS (DIV II)

Perhaps not quite as competitive as the first division, but no less tricky to work out. The most solid proposition is perhaps the Willie McCreery-trained Elm Grove, with the daughter of Arcano having come good on just her second start since joining her current trainer in a mile and a quarter handicap at Navan last time. A 7lb rise is fair and she can be expected to go close again. Of the remainder, the Aidan O’Brien-trained Along The Shore looks to have strong prospects having just been touched off by Flannery at Gowran Park in September.
