Kilkenny Race 12

525 Yds (A6)

Stake: $617

WOMAN IN BLACK (2) has a fair record and proved too strong last time to win by a nose at this track in a handy 29.82 beating Florican Best. Has hit winning form and can measure up again. SMITHROES CHOICE (1) was below best at his last start when 6th at this track following a third place finish (29.85) there two back. Solid record here at the distance winning 12 races. Some good form is emerging from his last run. MADABOUT CUSHIE (3) was on the bunny all the way to win last start. Sure to figure prominently. CHILTERN BOOM (5) has a strong record this track and trip with three wins and three placings from eight starts. Below best last time at this track (1:39.99) in an A6, finishing a sixth. Looks suited here and can measure up.
