Kilkenny Race 6

525 Yds (A4)

Prize Money: $564

BALLYGUR VERNON (5) has a strong record this track and trip with two wins and two placings from six starts. Was out of the placings last time (30.34) at this track in an A4, finishing sixth and beaten 17 lengths. With a clean break looks hard to beat. COMER SHARK (1) was well fancied last time on the strength of his recent form but could only manage second (29.53) at this track. Winning chance. DEVYS SURPRISE (4) showed little early speed at his last couple, the latest finishing fourth (30.64) in an A4 at this track. One of the better chances. RATCHIES WOLFE (3) has top-three aspirations after placing here over this journey last time.

Form slipped last start when he finished last on January 14 over 480m at this track behind Comer Storm beaten 9 lengths (30.05) in an A5. Will not find this easy. Not keen.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to finish second over 480m at this track. The recent effort suggests he is a genuine hope.

Winner two starts back at this track when scoring by a head in 30.13. Last start finished 4th in an A4 on January 16 over 480m at this track behind Kilkenny Ringo beaten 17 lengths (30.64). Can bounce back with the right run.

Comments

In the money two back then disappointed when he finished last over 480m at this track beaten 17 lengths (30.34) behind Birchfield Pa in an A4 on February 20. Some good form is emerging from that last run. Expected to prove hard to beat.
