Kilkenny Race 10

525 Yds (A3)

Prize Money: $844

AMBITIOUS BEAR (1) failed to come into contention last start at Dundalk, but prior to that won by a neck at this track (29.10) beating Brostaigh Cullen in an A3 on July 3. Got the money at his only try from this box. Should bounce back. RATCHIES GEOFF (2) led throughout to score two back then drifted back and missed the frame latest finishing a 4.5 lengths 4th at this track (29.40). One of the better hopes. BOGGER CHUCK (3) turned in a better effort at Thurles last start, finishing second behind Virgil Tibbs (29.83) in an A3. Has the pace to be prominent. Expected to feature. COMER SHARK (5) is one of the chances after collecting a minor prize last time.
