Kilkenny Race 7

525 Yds (A3)

Stake: $252

DROOPYS MELON (6) boxed on well to finish second last time, beaten one length (29.28) behind BALLINABOLA RUTH at this track. Must come into calculations. VOLCANO VICKY (1) flew around 480m at this track in 29.12 three back then has been in the money the last two since. Has the ability and can find winning form again. BALLINABOLA RUTH (3) is a progressive type who recorded her 3rd career win last time out (29.21) at this track. Must be included in calculations. FLORICAN HEIGHTS (2) took charge early and was never headed last time out. Will be thereabouts.
