Kilkenny Race 9 - 525 Yds (A3)
CROHANE RIPPLE (6) looks close to another win after finishing second last time (29.13) at Waterford. Rarely misses off this trap. Has the ability and looks a key chance this line-up. GORTKELLY JOHN (2) boasts a strong record this journey here with eight wins and seven minors from 19 tries. Hit the frame latest (29.62) when third at Thurles in an A2. Can feature with the right run. ARRIGLE IN (1) turned in a modest effort most recently when sixth at Waterford over 480m behind Rockmount Stella (30.41) in an A2. Placed at her previous run. Unbeaten from this box in two starts. Cannot be underestimated. TIPSY AILBHE (5) was well backed last start but ran below expectations when fourth (29.54), beaten 9 lengths. Consistent performer from this draw with a win and two minor placings to her credit.

Missed the frame when sixth at over 480m Waterford at her last run 11 weeks ago. Looks one of the better hopes in the race.

In the money at Thurles at his last couple of starts, most recently finishing third over 480m. Won't find this any harder. Hard to beat with even luck.

Good effort to score last start by 5 lengths over 480m at this track in 29.18, beating Ratchies Wolfe. Good win recently but others preferred.

Missed the frame when fourth at over 480m Thurles at her last run four months ago. Looks a significant danger.

Has been in great form, scoring zero in a row before finishing second (29.13) last time at Waterford over 480m. Unbeaten in two starts from this box. Key runner.
