Kilkenny Race 4

525 Yds (A4)

Stake: $836

HOLLYHILL KEANO (1) has a strong overall record having two wins and five places from nine starts including a last start third (29.53) over 480m at Clonmel. Drawn the fence and expected to go close. OAKVALE ERUPTION (2) is a last start placegetter in A4 company, jumping from this trap and finishing a 7 length third over 480m at this track. Has a very honest record from this same draw, including a win and two minors. Expecting another bold showing. KILGRANEY BALLY (3) was safely held last time out, finishing sixth at this track over 480m behind Atta Girl Issy (30.30) in an A4. Placed at his previous run. Key runner on best form. BALLYTADHG MULAN (4) is a chance after five months.

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 (29.76). Faces a stiffer test this time.
