Kilkenny Race 5

525 Yds (A4)

Prize Money: $754

AMBITIOUS BEAR (1) was well backed last start but ran below expectations when fifth (29.48), beaten 5.5 lengths. Can make amends. RATCHIES GEOFF (2) filled a minor placing last start at this track behind Vics Diamond (29.52) in an A4. Has the pace to be prominent. Comes through a solid form race last start. Leading player again. KILKENNY SAM (5) was strongly supported last start but missed the frame when fourth (29.52), beaten half a length. Cannot be left out. GETOUTOFIT (3) is in the mix despite finishing out of the placings here last start.

Comments

Didn't fire two runs back then progressed nicely last time to finish third over 480m at this track. Put the writing on the wall last start so follow him up.

Could only manage sixth last time out over 480m at this track, a continuation of some ordinary form. Not among the main chances this time.
