Kilkenny Race 1 - 525 Yds (A6)
HILLROAD BANDIT (1) looks close to win after hitting the frame last run (29.85) at this track in an A6. Has first look at trap 1 this time. Top prospect. RATCHIES ICON (2) box seated before sticking on well to finish 10 lengths away in second (30.04) at this track in an A5 over 480m. Deserves a win and gets his chance. CASHEL TOM (3) jumped from a low draw and boxed on well to finish second last time, beaten 1.5 lengths (29.89) behind Bespoke Bono at this track. Hard to beat again. SCOTRATH GOLD (4) is a last start winner from this box who must be respected.

Didn't fire two runs back then progressed nicely last time to finish third over 480m at this track. Cannot enthuse despite that better recent effort.

In the money at this track at his last couple of starts, most recently finishing second over 480m. No easier here and looks up against it.

Heading in the right direction and looks close to a maiden win. Handy run last time over 480m at this track when second (29.89. Should be much improved on the experience. In the money last time but this is a stern test.

Solid effort after taking an early lead to score in an A7 by 5.5 len at this track over 480m (29.85). Prepared to overlook.

Could only manage sixth last time out over 480m at this track, adding to some plain results of late. Hard to recommend this time.

Below best last start when he finished last on October 28 over 480m at this track behind Rosstemple Dug beaten 5.5 lengths (29.94) in an A6. Be tough to make an impression against this lot.
