Kilkenny Race 8

525 Yds (A0)

Stake: $1,162

MISSION CONTROL (5) boasts a strong record this journey with 20 wins and 28 minors from 58 tries. In the money last time at this track (28.88) in an AA0, finishing a 3.5 lengths third. Has the ability and should feature. PAULSTOWN CASH (6) goes very well this course and distance starting 10 times for four wins and five minors. In the money last time at this track (28.81) in an AA0, finishing a 2.5 lengths second. With even luck and a clean start can sneak into the finish. BALLYGUR VERNON (3) found some support last start but struggled into fourth (28.95), beaten 4.5 lengths. Finished third the start before. Will give the top chances plenty to think about. DOCTOR DOLITTLE (1) was well fancied last time on the strength of a win two back but could only manage fifth (29.09) at this track.

Finished fifth two starts ago then regained form last time out when he found one better over 503m in an A0 at Waterford. Hard to make a case on this occasion.
