Horse Racing Tips: Two to back at Limerick on Sunday from Betfair racing trader Ryan McCue

Limerick, 15:30 - Back Duce Bigalow @ 3/14.00

11

Duce Bigalow (Ire)

• J: Mr L. P. Shanahan
• T: Colm Ryan, Ireland
• F: P525221-3

• SBK 3/1
• EXC 3.35

This is a race for amateur jockeys and Lee Shanahan takes the ride on an interesting horse down toward the bottom of the weights in Duce Bigalow.

He was acquired by current connections back in February and has had two starts since joining the Colm Ryan yard. He was a winner on stable debut by 10 lengths at Down Royal over this trip, and then wasn't seen for 5 months before dropping in trip to 2m4f and finishing 3^rd having looked the winner for much of the contest.

That run you'd imagine, will bring the horse on fitness wise, couple that with the step up in trip and he looks to hold a very obvious chance of getting back to winning ways off a mark of 89.

Limerick, 16:00 - Back Sportinthepark @ 15/28.50

Sportinthepark (Ire)

• J: Sam Ewing
• T: Noel Meade, Ireland
• F: 6214/10P-

• SBK 15/2
• EXC 8.8

The feature race at Limerick on Sunday comes in the form of the Munster National. As usual, it's a highly competitive race and the one that makes most appeal is the Noel Meade trained Sportinthepark.

Sam Ewing was announced during the week as the owner's retained rider for the upcoming national hunt season so this could be the perfect opportunity to get things off to a flying start between the pair. He carries a lovely light weight of 10st 7lbs.

He hasn't been seen since a disappointing effort over hurdles back in February but I'm sure Noel Meade has had this race in mind for a while, given the prize money on offer. He's unexposed over fences, having only had the five starts.

He was fancied to ruin a big race in the Troytown at Navan last November but was beaten a long way that day. From what we've seen of him I'd be surprised if we've seen the best of him over fences, so he's a decent each way bet with an extra place on offer on the Betfair Sportsbook.
