Kilkenny Race 1

525 Yds (A6)

Prize Money: $552

RATCHIES GAMBLE (1) was strongly fancied last time but finished second (29.79), beaten 3 lengths. Rates highly and will give a great sight. ZOOS KAYA (6) was a course and distance winner (29.86) last time also from the same draw, scoring by 9 lengths in an A6. Has the ability and can measure up. EMPOLEON (5) is a fast beginner who has shown good improvement at his last two starts, breaking through last time at this track over 480m. Winner at his latest appearance in one of the quickest times on the card. Should feature again. FEED ME PICKLES (3) has top-three aspirations after placing here over this journey last time.

Followed a minor placing at this track two runs ago with a sound third, beaten 2 lengths, last start in an A7 at this track over 480m (29.80). Faces a stiffer test this time.

Form has been steadily improving. Last start finished second over 480m at this track in 29.86 behind Empoleon. Looks a solid hope.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by 1.75 lengths over 480m at this track in a handy 29.74, beating Feed Me Pickles. Among the chances and worth following up.
