Kilkenny Race 2

525 Yds (A7)

Stake: $598

BALLYGUR DIAMOND (5) had the drop on the lead and went on to be beaten 4 lengths into second (29.93) at this track in an A7 over 480m. Must come into calculations. RAYS ROBIN (3) turned in a plain effort last time when fifth at this track over 480m behind Oakvale Robin (30.18) in an A6. Was in the money prior to that. FLORICAN OPAL (4) was well backed last start but ran below expectations when fifth (30.45), beaten 6 lengths. Can measure up this time. ZOOS KAYA (6) jumps from trap 6 again after finishing third (29.98) last time at this track over 480m. Rates a key player.

In the money at this track at his last couple of starts, most recently finishing second over 480m. No easier here and likely to struggle.

Finished fourth two starts ago then regained form last time out when she found one better over 480m in an A7 at this track. Looks to have turned things around so follow her up.

Form slipped last start when she finished 5th in an A6 on April 9 over 480m at this track behind Oakvale Robin beaten 9 lengths (30.18). Will need to improve to feature.

Comments

In the money two back then disappointed when she finished 5th on April 9 over 480m at this track behind Madabout Cushie beaten 6 lengths (30.45) in an A6. Has been racing well. Well placed here and looks a leading contender.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to finish second over 480m at this track. Can take this out on the back of that sound recent effort.
