Kilkenny Race 4

525 Yds (A4)

Prize Money: $541

RATCHIES GEOFF (1) was well in the market last time but only managed sixth (29.83), beaten 10 lengths. Was in the money the start prior. The form from his last run is stacking up nicely. Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. BALLYDAN GRANGE (2) is long overdue for a win and in super consistent form, jumping from this trap to place last time at this track (30.00), making it three straight minors. Expected to feature. KEVINSFORT CUTIE (3) doesn't have the best strike-rate. Hit the board with a minor placing last time when second (29.45) at this track. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last start despite being beaten. Expected to be in the finish again. GIDDYUP JOE (4) is a last start winner who can measure up again.

Form slipped last start when he finished last in an A4 on October 16 over 480m at this track behind Aces Alf beaten 10 lengths (29.83). Can't recommend against this lot.

Racing well of late. In the money two starts back at this track then finished third at her latest appearance in an A4 at this track over 480m (30.00). Faces a stiffer test this time.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to finish second over 480m at this track. Back on track last time but this looks a stern test.
