Kilkenny Race 3 - 525 Yds (A4)
OAKVALE BUCK (2) has shown good improvement at his last two starts, the latest scoring at Thurles over 480m. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings six times from 10 attempts. The one to beat again. BOOZED AKELA (4) has missed the placings at her last couple but was in the money three back when second (29.57) at Clonmel in an A3. Has the ability and can find best this time. LEYLAND RUN (5) goes very well at the distance with two wins and a placing from four starts. Below best last time at Limerick (29.74) in an A4, finishing a 8 length sixth. Looks one of the chances. GORTKELLY LEO (6) comes into calculations after placing out of the same box most recently.

Below best last start when she finished 5th in an A3 on May 22 over 480m at this track behind Da Bould Johnjoe beaten 5.5 lengths (29.56). Doesn't look smart enough to threaten the top few.
