Review limerick 3rd Oct

< Making Light stepped forward significantly from her debut effort to run away with the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Median Auction Fillies Maiden at Limerick.

Pat Smullen, registering his 100th winner of the campaign, looked after the Dermot Weld-trained daughter of Tamayuz on her Dundalk introduction, but she still caught many an eye in fifth.

Sent off the 3-1 favourite for her second appearance, she cruised to the front halfway down the straight and sprinted clear in the style of a very promising filly, crossing the line with eight lengths in hand of Fast Bid < Hansian Prince (15-8 favourite) broke his duck at the fourth attempt in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Median Auction (C & G) Maiden.

Ger Lyons' youngster had blinkers on in an attempt to better two second placings and got the job done with the minimum of fuss, beating Fior Cliste by two and three-quarter lengths.

Arc-winning trainer Aidan O'Brien unleashed a nice newcomer in Black Hawk War to take the Patrickswell Maiden.

The 5-1 shot raced kindly for Donnacha O'Brien and although he came close to Cr & egrave;me De La when they made their challenges, he pulled away for a three-and-a-quarter-length verdict.< Burning Sword was a warm order for the Racing Again October 8th And 9th Maiden but could only manage second, put firmly in his place by Master Ring (12-1).

Michael Halford's French recruit showed a pleasing attitude for Shane Foley and came four lengths clear.< Youceeyouceecee (8-1) was third to Stamp Of Authority at the Listowel Festival but those placings were reversed in the Book Online At www.limerickraces.ie Handicap, with Ecoeye splitting the pair.< Count Of Carabass (7-1) and Double Fast (12-1) won divisions one and two of the Croom Handicap respectively, while 8-1 chance Caridadi took the Follow Limerick Racecourse On Facebook Apprentice Handicap in the hands of Denis Linehan.
