Soft going now at Thurles Following 14.5mm of rain overnight at Thurles the going is now described as soft. Sunny spells and scattered showers are expected at the County Tipperary venue today ahead of a 7-race Flat card set to commence at 2.15. Most valuable event on the programme is the Thurles Nursery Handicap at 2.45 and this has the makings of an informative affair. Delays can be expected due to roadworks around Thurles town and potential Garda checkpoints.
