Kilkenny Race 7

525 Yds (A1)

Prize Money: $268

LEMON THELMA (5) jumped from the outside last start and was game in defeat when a 1.5 lengths second (29.03) behind Jims Gem at this track. Goes very well from this draw with three wins and three minor placings from seven starts. Must come into calculations. GORTKELLY JOHN (2) was well fancied last time on the back of some sparkling form, which included a two-start winning streak, but could only manage second (29.39) at this track. Has a very good strike-rate from this draw, with three wins from three starts. Can feature again. FUN INTHE RUN (6) has some solid form under his belt and proved too strong last time to win by one length at this track in a handy 28.96 beating LEMON HERBIE. Goes very well from this draw with six wins and three minor placings from 15 starts. Can make it back-to-back wins. DROICHEAD NUA (3) generally performs well over this distance.

Finished second last time at this track (29.39) in an A1, beaten 4.5 lengths. Boasts good form here at the journey with seven wins and six minor placings from 15 tries. Looks hard to beat with even luck.

Didn't fire two runs back then progressed nicely last time to be beaten just one length into second over 480m at this track. May find this a bit too tough.

Filled a minor placing last time over 480m (29.03) at this track in an A1, beaten 1.5 lengths. Strong record at this track and trip with three wins and three placings from eight starts. With a clean break looks hard to beat.

Good effort to score last start by one length over 480m at this track in 28.96, beating Lemon Herbie. Can make it two on the bounce.
