Kilkenny Race 10

525 Yds (A2)

Prize Money: $216

DROOPYS VARIETY (4) has a strong record this trip including five wins from seven starts. Scored by 5 lengths last time (29.00) in an A2 over 480m at this track. Looks suited and should go close. TINAHUE SKYLARK (2) is a promising dog yet to miss the frame after four starts including three wins and was a last start winner (29.06) over 480m at Waterford. Looks suited and expected to run well. MISSION CONTROL (6) was strongly fancied last time on the back of some good recent form but could only manage sixth (41.99) at Waterford. Some good form is emerging from his last run. Has ability and can measure up. GORTKELLY JOHN (3) was well fancied in betting last start but could only manage 3 lengths away in second (29.03). Some good form is emerging from his last run. Deserves a win and gets his chance.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by 5 lengths over 480m at this track in a handy 29.00, beating Phoenix Timmy. Can make it two on the bounce.

In the money two back then disappointed when he finished last over 668m at Waterford beaten 17 lengths (41.99) behind Priceless On Ice in a DD0 on March 15. Forgive the latest run. Has solid claims on his best form.
