Kilkenny Race 8

525 Yds (A0)

Prize Money: $1,126

MISSION CONTROL (6) box seated early before forging to the lead turning and lifting to score (28.72) at this track in an A1 over 480m. Winner at his latest appearance in the quickest time on the card. Expected to go well again. SAWDUST BARRY (4) goes very well at the course and distance with three wins and a placing from five starts. Was out of the placings last time (28.87) at Thurles in an AA0, finishing fifth and beaten 7 lengths. Makes strong appeal on best. GOLDMINE DIAMOND (3) was in the placings last time but prior to that he ran a blistering 28.74 win over 480m at this track. Should be in this for a long way. HAMILTON (5) was strongly fancied last time but ran below expectations when fourth (29.25), beaten 7 lengths. The form from his last run is stacking up nicely.

Could only manage fifth last time out over 480m at Shelbourne Park, adding to some plain results of late. Not likely to feature on this occasion.

Comments

Moderate effort last start when he finished last over 480m at Shelbourne Park beaten 8 lengths (29.52) behind Sawdust Barry in an A0 on May 30. Others make more appeal.

Quickly away last start and finished runner-up over 480m at this track. Boxed on well last time to hit the frame. Rates highly again.

In the money two back then disappointed when he finished 5th over 480m at Thurles beaten 7 lengths (28.87) behind Indian Mist in an AA0 on June 20. Around the mark two starts back. Winning chance on that form.

Scored by 1.5 lengths last time (28.72) in an A1 over 480m at this track. Boasts good form here at the journey with 14 wins and 18 minor placings from 38 tries. Key player and should go well.
