Kilkenny Race 5

525 Yds (A4)

Prize Money: $747

BALLYGUR VERNON (3) has a strong record this track and trip with five wins and five placings from 14 starts. Missed the frame latest (30.30) when sixth over 480m at Limerick in an A4. Looks a leading chance on best. COMER SHARK (4) boasts a consistent overall record including 12 wins from 54 starts, but missed the frame latest when fourth (29.79) over 480m at this track. Looks suited and expected to run well. HELLO DANI (1) has a fair record and proved too strong last time to win by 4 lengths at this track in a handy 29.52 beating Breakaway Hunter. Can make it back-to-back wins. ACES ALF (6) was strongly fancied on the back of a win two starts ago but finished fourth last time (29.47) at Limerick.

Could only manage sixth last time out over 480m at Limerick (30.30) in an A4. Strong record at this track and trip with five wins and five placings from 14 starts. With a clean break looks hard to beat.
