Anna ready to land deserved win in Limerick's afternoon opener

HAZELHILL ANNA can prevent her losing run reaching double figures by powering to victory in Limerick's A7 opener over 525 yards at 3.03.

Eugene Corkery's bitch has been performing consistently well without picking up a gold medal since a runaway December victory at this level and faces rivals who seem generally out of form.

She should be prominent a lot earlier than is often the case and can put the race to bed along the back straight.

Joe O'Connor's Millmount Vovo (3.59) and Donal Casey's Varra Whistler (4.37) are subsequent Limerick fancies, while Gerard Purcell's Almighty Laura (2.18) is a strong pick at the earlier Irish meeting at Waterford.

Tony Morgan's Good Streak (4.44) is back at a realistic level when tackling A3 company at Valley, while Ken Kennedy's Society Scary (8.34) can reverse recent form with Caseys Babs at Star Pelaw.
