Limerick 18:00 - Price Boost

oddschecker Verdict

The well-bred MONASTERE hadn't shown much prior to two encouraging displays last month, and he can follow up a recent success off 9lb higher. Out of a Group 3-winning mare, the selection was bought for 10,500 euros as a two-year-old in November 2024 and showed big improvement at Fairyhouse before scoring at that same course 10 days ago. He can continue to progress and today's same rider is able to utilise his 5lb claim here. Four-time winner Rappell was narrowly touched off on Wednesday and has strong claims from the same rating. El Fontenaro was narrowly beaten on her most recent outing, although she is an 18-race maiden. Friars Gate disappointed on testing ground here recently but had previously shown promise.

Prediction: 1st Monastere, 2nd Rappell, 3rd El Fontenaro
