Kilkenny Race 8

525 Yds (A2)

Prize Money: $920

JIMS GEM (1) finished well back at this track last time when a 9 length sixth (29.58) but scored three back at this track (28.93). Returns to a course where he has performed well. Solid formlines coming through his last run. Worth another chance. JIMI HOUNDRIX (4) could manage only fifth at this track last time but turned heads when clocking a superb 28.93 over 480m at this track the start prior. Has the ability and looks a key chance. BOGGER TOMMY (3) stuck on well last time to finish 1.2 lengths back in third (29.04) at this track in an A1 over 480m. His last run is a proven strong form reference. Expected to be in the finish again. GORTKELLY HAZARD (5) solid chance again.

Finished fifth last time (29.89) in an A3 over 480m at this track after winning at his previous three starts. Forgive the latest effort. Great chance to atone.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to finish third over 480m at this track. Looks to have turned things around so follow him up.
