Kilkenny Race 7

525 Yds (A1)

Prize Money: $246

MISSION CONTROL (6) filled a minor placing last start at Waterford behind Dellser Jack (28.79) in an A0. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Rates highly and will give a great sight. DROOPYS GALLANT (2) filled a minor placing last start at Shelbourne Park behind Fleeting Moment (28.68) in an A0. Has the pace to be prominent. Didn't win last time but still ran one of the quickest times on the card. Winning chance. LEMON HIDALGO (5) goes very well this course and distance starting 10 times for four wins and five minors. Was out of the placings last time (28.71) at Shelbourne Park in an A0, finishing fifth and beaten 9 lengths. Looks well placed here and among the chances. GROUP CHICK (4) will be thereabouts while fresh.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to finish second over 480m at Curraheen Park. Better last time but not convinced this is his race.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to finish third over 480m at Shelbourne Park. Heading the right way looks well placed to take this out.

Could only manage fifth last time out over 480m at Shelbourne Park (28.71) in an A0. Boasts good form here at the journey with four wins and five minor placings from 10 tries. Key chance on best figures.

Sound effort to finish second last start over 480m at Waterford (28.79) in an A0. Boasts good form here at the journey with 14 wins and 21 minor placings from 42 tries. Likely to be in the finish.
