Kilkenny Race 4

525 Yds (A3)

Prize Money: $836

GIDDYUP JOE (4) was last seen getting around 480m at this track in a quick 29.18 for a 4 length success. Top win latest and looms as the one to beat again. SPUDZ ARE ROTTEN (3) is yet to miss the placings in an excellent record this track and trip which boasts two wins and two placings. Placed last time (29.41) at this track in an A3, finishing third and beaten 7 lengths. Can feature with the right run. AMBITIOUS BEAR (2) has missed the frame at last two runs but could not have been more impressive the run prior in his swift 29.10 win at this track over 480m. Has the ability and looks a key chance. FEED ME BACARDI (5) is worth another chance despite missing the top-three here most recently.

Didn't fire two runs back then progressed nicely last time to finish second over 480m at this track. Better last time but not convinced this is his race.
