Betsy can prove Limerick best with chance to dominate early

SHANAKYLE BETSY is often the subject of plenty of market attention and is likely to be so again when she lines up for Limerick's A7 over 525 yards at 3.03.

However, the form of the Shanakyle Syndicate-owned bitch looks rock solid with only one of her rivals emulating her in having dipped under the 30sec barrier.

For the selection, that came when she won in great style on 5th December, leading early the seeing off her sole close pursuer to pull right away for a four lengths plus success.

Invariably a fast starter, she can again quickly hit the front and should take a deal of pegging back in this company.

There is earlier Irish action at Waterford where Joe Anglim's White Lightning can make the most of a drop in grade to take an A3 over 525 yards at 11.29.

The other Thursday morning SIS fixture is at Towcester where Michelle Brown's Bombastic Magic stands out at 1.03, while Tony Welch's So Its Strife (4.26) and Leigh Williams' Tobergal Suzanne (9.09) are the suggestions at Oxford and Valley respectively.
