Kilkenny Race 8

525 Yds (A4)

Prize Money: $569

BALLYGUR VERNON (5) has a strong record here with four wins and two placings from nine starts. Recorded a 3.5 lengths win (29.55) in an A5 last time at this track. Appeals as a leading chance in this. ABIGAILS MAX (4) has recorded back to back wins, last time scoring at this track over 480m by 0.8 lengths (29.49). Winner at his latest appearance in one of the quickest times on the card. One of main contenders. FEED ME CUPCAKES (1) recorded three placings in a row before an overdue win last time, scoring by 3 lengths (29.66) at this track. Should be in this for a long way. ACES ALF (6) won from this box last start so worth including.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by 3 lengths over 480m at this track in a handy 29.66, beating Woman In Black. In form and is right in the mix again.

Could only manage fourth last time out over 480m at this track, a continuation of some ordinary form. Better off looking to others.
