Kilkenny Race 9 - 525 Yds (A1)
BALLYGUR VERNON (1) looks close to another win after finishing third from Box 2 last time (30.57) at Waterford. Has a strong record out of this box with two wins and a minor placing from four starts. One of the contenders. SWIFT SAVER (4) is a talented type and proved too classy last time to win by a neck at this track in a handy 28.75 beating ROCKPIT BLACKBOB. The form from his last run is stacking up nicely. Significant danger. FOYLE MILO (3) scored two back then drifted back and missed the frame latest finishing a 6 length 5th at this track (29.16). The form out of last race has been strong. One of the main contenders. ROCKPIT BLACKBOB (6) is a last-start placegetter when at the top of betting - in the mix again.

Got back early in the race last start when fifth over 480m at this track. Before that won by 0.8 lengths at this track (29.08) beating Sawdust Barry in an A1 on July 17. Racing well and has to be included.

Solid performance after taking an early lead to score in an A2 by neck at this track over 480m (28.75). Ran one of the fastest times on the program in that last win. Stay with him.

Good effort to score last start by 2.5 lengths over 480m at this track in 28.90, beating Kells Ruby. Will be tested in this company.

Finished fourth two starts ago then regained form last time out when she found one better over 480m in an A2 at this track. Cannot be overlooked based on that sound recent effort.
