Kilkenny Race 9 - 525 Yds (A2)
BOGGER NIFTY (3) goes very well at the course with three wins and a placing from five starts. Hit the frame latest (28.79) when second at Waterford in an A2. Looks a leading chance on best. JIMS GEM (2) had been racing well prior to his last start fifth at this track following an A2 win three back with a second placing. Can feature with the right run. OLD ROAD VILLAIN (6) was popular in betting last start but disappointed when 3 lengths away in fourth (30.32). Was in the money the start prior. Has performed well from this box with a win and two minor placings to his name from four starts. Has ability and can atone. DOUBLE DROP (4) missed the frame latest (29.10) when fourth over 480m at this track in an A2. Has already won four times from this trap.

Finished fourth two starts ago then regained form last time out when she found one better over 480m in an A2 at this track. Back on track last time but this looks a stern test.
