Kilkenny Race 1

525 Yds (A7)

Prize Money: $526

GORTKELLY TEDDY (1) filled a minor placing last start at this track behind Ballygur Rocky (30.28) in an A7. Settled off speed and worked to the line nicely. Expected to be in this for a long way. GABRIELS CHOICE (3) has mixed form recently, finishing fourth (30.36) in an A7 at this track latest but did run well two back when in the frame. Better than latest and can atone here. CILL DUBH PEG (6) last start finished 5th in an A7 on January 29 over 480m at this track behind Free Seven Free beaten 5.5 lengths (30.48). With even luck and a clean start can sneak into the finish. LARKINS NESS (2) was well supported last time but could only manage third (30.39), beaten 3 lengths. Racing well and deserves a win.

In the money at this track at her last couple of starts, most recently finishing third over 480m. No easier here and looks up against it.

Could only manage sixth last time out over 480m at this track, a continuation of some ordinary form. Cannot enthuse on this occasion.
