Kilkenny Race 11

525 Yds (A6)

Prize Money: $544

EMPOLEON (6) goes very well this course and distance starting 11 times for four wins and two minors. Recorded a 10 length win (29.82) in an A7 last time at this track. Rates on top and should go close. COMER KING (5) was strongly fancied last time on the back of some superb recent form, including a two-run winning streak, but could only manage second (30.05) at this track. Comes through a solid form race last start. Expected to be in this for a long way. WOMAN IN BLACK (1) failed to feature last start after missing the jump at this track, but prior to that won by 0.8 lengths at this track (29.72) beating BALLINURE PADDY in an A6 on January 15. Likely to play a prominent role. BALLINURE PADDY (2) has strong claims after a top-three finish last time out.

Put in a competitive run when placing 3rd last run at the track in 30.22s. Always seems to find the line well. Prefer to watch.

Fresh after a break. Towards the tail last run at Thurles Park but demonstrating upward trajectory in recent races. Looks hopeful at best.

Dictated the tempo when winning last start at this track in 30.12s and showing improvement in recent outings. Expecting to settle positively. Very competitive this campaign. Will go close today.
