Plenty of local action in evening race card at Tipperary

 

Strategic Heights has won three times on the bounce in February at the all weather track in Dundalk – he'll be hoping to continue that form on the turf at Limerick Junction this evening in the Join The Tipperary Supporters Club Handicap at 6.05 which is run over the minimum trip of five furlongs. 

Pat Smullen is back on board but last year's winner Allegra Tak and the speedy Sassaway, which is trained by Cullen based Eamonn O'Connell, are both in the seven-runner field so it certainly won't be straightforward for the fast-improving Strategic Heights. 

Green Energy has proved a revelation for Meath trainer Matthew Smith in recent weeks, winning twice in swift succession, and he is sure to prove popular with punters in the Tipperaryraces.ie Handicap Hurdle at 7.35pm though Carrick on Suir trainer Phillip Fenton sends out Drive On Locky which looks to be his principal danger. 

The first is off at 5 o'clock this evening at Tipperary Racecourse with the going said to be good.
