Tarakala can strike blow for young guns

TARAKALA, the only three-year-old in the field, can strike a blow for the younger generation by landing the Listed Martin Molony Stakes at Limerick tonight.

John Oxx's charge is on a hat-trick and comes here with all the appearances of a filly rapidly on the upgrade.

She got off the mark for the campaign with a hard-earned three parts of a length defeat of Noaks Ark at Cork and then showed her appreciation of stepping up to a mile and a half for the first time at Gowran Park subsequently.
