Kilkenny Race 11

525 Yds (A5)

Stake: $627

EMPOLEON (6) was a last start winner this course and distance taking an A7 in 29.68 in one of the quickest times on the card and clocking a personal best as well. Expected to push the clock again. CASHEL AMY (1) is mixing form lately, finishing out of the placings last time at this track but was an A5 winner two back at this track. Has the ability and expected to do much better. STRIKE IT SYD (2) had trap 5 last start and ran well to finish second, beaten a neck, (29.78) at this track. Can feature again. NOMADIC BOLT (3) cannot be overlooked following a recent top-three finish in impressive time.

Winner two starts back at this track when scoring by a head in 29.72. Last start finished last on June 25 over 480m at this track behind Kilkenny Diva beaten 5 lengths (30.11) in an A5. Better than that and worth following up.

Didn't fire two runs back then progressed nicely last time to finish second over 480m at this track. Cannot be taken lightly based on that sound recent effort.

Got back early in the race last start when third over 480m at this track. Before that won by 2.5 lengths at this track (29.67) beating Gortkelly Lotto in an A7 on June 18. Hit the frame last time but will need to improve further.
