Kilkenny Race 8

525 Yds (A3)

Stake: $252

TWENTY BENSON (2) is a progressive type who recorded her 9th career win last time out (28.93) at this track. Form here excellent including four wins. Winner at her latest appearance in one of the quickest times on the card. The one to beat again. BLACKSTONE FIFI (4) settled midfield in the run and boxed on to finish there when 4th (29.42) at this track. Will give the top chances plenty to think about. DROOPYS MAGS (6) improved her time on first attempt here at the trip with a 3.5 lengths second in 29.14 latest. Has the ability and looks a key chance. LEMON PARIS (3) gets a chance to improve on an unplaced run at her latest outing at this circuit.

Racing well of late. In the money two starts back at this track then finished third at her latest appearance in an A3 at this track over 480m (29.80). This might be too rich.
