Kilkenny Race 3 - 525 Yds (A4)
BALLYGUR JIM (2) jumped quickly from trap one to score (29.37) two back then drew the same last time but settled off pace and could manage only a 21 length 5th at this track (30.49). Has a strong record from box 2, including two wins. Has ability and looks hard to stop. BIRCHFIELD PA (1) was strongly fancied last time but ran below expectations when fourth (29.72), beaten 10 lengths. Better than last start and can bounce back. RATCHIES GEOFF (3) was well in the market last time but only managed fourth (29.96), beaten 13 lengths. Finished third the start before. Has ability and is one of the better chances. KILGRANEY NIKE (5) is last start winner who looks one of the chances.

Hasn't been far away in two runs. One of the last early but finished off nicely latest into fourth (29.30) at Limerick over 480m. Sure to improve on the experience. Prepared to overlook.

Solid effort after racing on the speed to score in an A4 by 2 len at this track over 480m (29.31). Makes appeal on the back of that latest win.

Finished fifth two starts ago then regained form last time out when he found one better over 480m in an A4 at this track. Faces a tough assignment this time.
