Kilkenny Race 3 - 525 Yds (A4)

BALLYGUR VERNON (5) has hit the frame at five of 15 starts and has won two of last three, the latest scoring (29.36) over 480m at this track. Solid record here at the distance winning five races. Well placed here and can go close with a clear run. RATCHIES BORRIS (6) put in a much better performance last start when in the placings at this track behind Volcano Vicky (29.46) in an A4. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Expected to feature. SWIFT SAVER (2) was responsible for a modest effort most recently when sixth at this track over 480m behind Volcano Vicky (29.69) in an A4. Has a strong record out of this box with four wins and a minor placing from six starts. Warrants plenty of respect. ABIGAILS DUKE (3) is a last-start placegetter from this box - in the mix again.

Got back early in the race last start when fourth over 480m at Thurles. Before that won comfortably by 3.5 lengths at this track (29.39) beating Kiltegan Lucy in an A6 on April 15. Not far away last time but this is a stiff test.
