Review LIMERICK 15th May

Global Wings made every yard of the running to finish a gutsy winner of the richest race on the Limerick card, the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Handicap.

Martin Harley appeared to set a strong early tempo on the 12-1 chance, but she stayed on grittily and pulled a few lengths clear on the turn for home.

That move proved decisive, as Dani's Girl finished with a flourish under Declan McDonogh, but could not get to the winner, going down by half a length.

Grantsville was another to spring late, but could get no nearer than third.

Greatwallofchina will hardly be at the top of Aidan O'Brien's list of three-year-old talent, but he proved too strong for his rivals in the Clohessy's Bar EBF Maiden.

The 5-4 favourite, third in successive starts this season, was always up with the pace and had his rivals on the stretch as the field turned for home.

Staying on nicely under Seamus Heffernan, the son of Kingmambo finished three lengths clear of Fay Street, who just held off Award Ceremony. John Oxx's debutant Keriyka stayed on takingly to finish fourth.

Kalacan got favourite-backers off to a good start by taking the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden.

Held up towards the rear early on, the 1-2 chance was always in control and once Emmet McNamara gave him his office a furlong out, Ger Lyon's charge strode on to a two-length success.

Paul Townend picked a path through the pack for Hazium, who responded well to his jockey's urgings to land the Ryan's Event Cleaners Handicap.

Held up well of the pace, he did not have the clearest passage, but got to the front with a furlong to run and the 13/2 chance held off the attentions of Proud Ruler and Man Of Aran to win by three-quarters of a length.
