Kilkenny Race 6

525 Yds (A7)

Prize Money: $560

BALLYGUR DIAMOND (6) was out of the placings last time when fifth at this track (30.10) but scored four back at this track (29.72). Should bounce back. KILKENNY RINGO (4) has found the minor placings here at last couple of runs, finishing second last time beaten 3 lengths (29.76). Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings two times from three attempts. Will give a great sight again. SMITHROES CHOICE (1) jumps from the inside trap. Last start finished 3rd over 480m at this track beaten 6 lengths (29.97) behind Woman In Black in an A7 on May 7. Looks a key player on best form. ONE SALAH (2) was strongly supported last start but missed the frame when sixth (30.08), beaten 6 lengths.

Finished fourth two starts ago then regained form last time out when he found a couple better over 480m in an A7 at this track. Cannot be ignored based on that sound recent effort.

In the money two back then disappointed when he finished 5th in an A7 on May 7 over 480m at this track behind Woman In Black beaten 9 lengths (30.20). Has ability and looks a winning hope.
