Varra's power all set to take him to victory late on at Limerick

VARRA LASRACH gets an ease in grade for Limerick's A6 over 525 yards at 3.59 on the back of an excellent second in better company and can take full advantage of the opportunity.

Donal Casey's dog does all his best work in the second half of races so a draw on the fence is helpful in terms of the likelihood of a clear run early.

That being the case, this could set up ideally with the likes of Asiam Zero and Carrigmore Marlo potentially getting hooked up in a speed battle early allowing the selection to pounce when it matters.

There is early Irish action at Waterford where Joe Anglim's Bing Khaya (11.47) goes unpenalised for an A3 victory last time out.

First meeting under way is Oxford where Angie Kibble's Ballymac Lez can make it two wins in three starts at the track by landing an A1 at 12.12, while Donna Davy's consistent Shunters Peace (5.21) and Sam Atkinson's class-dropping Caseys Jake (7.42) can score at Valley and Star Pelaw respectively.
