Kilkenny Race 3

525 Yds (A6)

Stake: $617

MADABOUT CUSHIE (2) broke well and quickly mustered speed to win over the 480m at this track two runs back then prominent throughout when finishing second at this track last start. Expected to be in this for a long way. FLORICAN OPAL (4) was prominent early from trap 4 and did a fair job to be beaten 4 lengths into second (30.15) at this track in an A6 over 480m. Hard to beat again. BALLYGUR FIONA (1) goes very well this course and distance starting eight times for three wins and two minors. Comes off a (29.74) win last time, scoring by 8 lengths in an A6 over 480m at this track. Has the ability and looks a key chance here. KILKENNY RINGO (3) was strongly fancied last time but finished third (29.95), beaten 2 lengths. Overdue and gets his chance.

Racing consistently, including a win two back at this track, before a 5.5 lengths second (30.24) over 480m at this track last time. Leading chance who should prove hard to beat.
