The Flat season is really starting to fire up now and Limerick keeps the show on the road with a twilight meeting on Thursday.
The fare is modest but three maiden events on the seven-race card promise to provide plenty of pointers for the future and the action begins at 4.25.
Precious Dream looked potentially useful when opening her account at Dundalk at the beginning of the month but big things were expected of Penniston Line ahead of his debut at that same track just under two weeks ago and he duly delivered.
The Irish Stallion Farms European Breeders Fund Fillies' Maiden has proved a useful pointer in the past, with Dermot Weld sending out subsequent 1000 Guineas winner Bethrah to win the race in 2010.
It could prove significant that Weld has handed an Oaks entry to this year's representative Ransomed Rose, a beautifully bred daughter of Oasis Dream.
In the Limerickraces.ie race, Cnocan Diva, who shaped really well in four starts last term, looks the type to have improved with the benefit of another winter on her back.
Lord Jim sets the standard in the Jog For Jockeys 29th July (C & G) Median Auction Maiden but Croi An Or and Great Ruler both only raced once last term and significant market confidence behind either could be well worth considering.
On paper, the concluding Limerick Run Maiden looks a better race although a few of the leading contenders have stamina to prove, not least Train Of Thought and Emotional Dream, both of whom shaped with an abundance of promise last season.
