Kilkenny Race 4

525 Yds (A5)

Stake: $646

GORTKELLY BONO (1) has been going along well and was strongly fancied last time but could only manage second (29.65) at this track. Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors. Well placed and gets his chance. KILKENNY SAM (5) was prominent throughout when winning two back then got further back last time but came home hard into third and beaten 9 lengths at this track (30.11). Winning claims. COMER SHARK (6) jumps from trap 6 again after placing (29.71) last time at this track over 480m. Bold showing expected again. BALLINURE PADDY (4) should bounce back after an unplaced effort here recently.

Below best last start when she finished 5th on April 2 over 480m at this track behind Comer Liz beaten 7 lengths (29.89) in an A5. Shouldn't trouble the top few hopes.
