  Settled midfield - 4th at halfway - improved on the outside to challenge for the front nearing 3 out - driven up before 2 out - overtaken after 2 out - urged in 3rd but unable to close before stumbling at last - stayed on same gear to finish third

• Pos 2 12 Mar Limerick

  Untidy at the 1st - settled towards the back of the field - errors at the 5th and 4th - moved into contention after 3 out - pressed on the outside approaching the straight - pushed along to share the lead 2 out where a serious blunder cost momentum - soon lost the advantage - one-paced in 2nd before the last and finished that way
