Thursday's best at Limerick came from Jigoro who was 2nd. The 13/8 shot led early being passed after the 5th. He made no impression approaching the straight keeping on at the same pace allowing Intellotto to pull away and win by an easy 10 lengths. The days other pick Look To The West was a non-runner.
A double header on Friday sees 7 races at both Downpatrick and The Curragh with 2 main events.
Downpatrick 5.35: Frank And Brian Fitzsimmons Memorial Handicap Hurdle.
6: Depalma: A lightly-raced horse who finished a respectable 9th at Leopardstown when last seen in December. He was left with a lot to do late on against some useful runners but still showed promise and if ready to go he can make a winning return in these calmer waters.
The Curragh 6.55: Heider Family Stables Gallinule Stakes (Group 3)
3: Shackleton: A progressive horse who's last win came on this course in September. He ended his season with a very good 3rd in the Zetland Stakes at Newmarket where he made headway from 3 out only dropping to 3rd inside the final furlong. He should continue his improvement and can win here for a yard who have an excellent record in this race.
