Kilkenny Race 5

525 Yds (A1)

Stake: $297

KAPUKA WARRIOR (1) comes here off a scintillating win at this track in 28.66 over 480m. Can measure up again if runs up to latest time. JOHNNIE ON FAYA (5) has a strong record this trip with three wins and two placings from six starts. Hit the frame latest (29.43) when third at this track in an A1. Looks suited here and can measure up. FOYLE EMMA (2) boasts a strong record this journey with eight wins and four minors from 21 tries. Below best last time at this track (29.50) in an A1, finishing a 12 length fourth. With even luck and a clean start can sneak into the finish. DROOPYS MAP (4) won in smart time most recently. Right in the mix.

Good effort after taking an early lead to score in an A1 by 6 len at this track over 480m (28.66). That last win was in the quickest time on the card. Stick with him.

Comments

Was out of the placings last time over 480m at this track (29.50) in an A1, beaten 12 lengths. Boasts good form here at the journey with seven wins and four minor placings from 19 tries. Looks one of the chances.

Finished fifth two starts ago then regained form last time out when he found a couple better over 480m in an A1 at this track. May find this a bit too tough.

Resumed last time out with a solid third over 480m at this track in an A1 (29.23). Better for the run but looks tested in this field.
