Kilkenny Race 5

525 Yds (A7)

Stake: $561

BALLYGOMAN LAD (2) settled midfield in the run and boxed on to finish there when 4th (30.39) at this track. Better than last start and worth following up. VISSAGE (6) turned in a solid run last start over 480m at this track finishing 4th and beaten only 4.5 lengths (30.40). Form from his last run is proving to be solid. Should be in this for a long way. GAZAS ABILITY (5) is long overdue for a win, finishing in the minors at his last three starts, the latest jumping from this same trap when third in an A7 at this track (30.59). Worth another try. LARKINS NESS (3) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing fifth (30.67) in an A7 at this track. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings two times from three starts. Cannot be taken lightly.

Disappointed last start over 480m at this track when beaten 10 len (30.86) behind Gabriels Choice on November 13. Not doing enough to be considered.

Latest effort finished last on November 20 over 480m at this track behind One Salah beaten 10 lengths (30.67) in an A7. Rates highly and looks tough to beat.

Last start finished last on November 6 over 480m at this track behind Boru Tantalize beaten 12 lengths (30.80) in an A7. Can bounce back. One of the main chances.

Form fair without winning, filling the minors at his last three starts, the latest when third (30.59) at this track. Coming off a solid run but has won just four of 49 runs. Worth including on best.
