Clonmel Race 3 - Kilmore Mdn Hurdle
September Storm gelding AKAKO (1) performed well managing a 6.3L fifth contesting a 4425m maiden hurdle at Tramore. Taken to register a victory dropping in distance. VARGAS (7) rates a big threat representing a top stable following a 33.5L fifth in a 3822m maiden hurdle at Navan just under two weeks ago. KALICO LEADER (4) recorded a 17L fifth trying 4123m at Bellewstown providing his penultimate outing. Strong prospects despite falling at the seventh at Navan subsequently. HOWYASOX (12) delivered a good effort prior to a fall at the last over 4828m at Cork in July. Warrants close consideration returning from a break.

Having third race start. At very long odds at debut, finished 14th of 18 starters at Punchestown on June 6 over 3319m, 49 len behind Dee Bee Zed with 73kg at $34. Second-up finished 14th of 17 runners at Cork on August 3 over 3621m, 68 len behind Green Style with 76kg at $81. Doubt he will threaten here.

Having second run back today. Last outing finished ninth of 14 runners at Wexford on August 28 over 4123m, 11 len behind Sekakarma with 76kg at $26. At only start last preparation finished sixth of 9 runners at Wexford on May 27 over 3419m, 16 len behind Rich Belief carrying 69.5kg at $17. Fitter for run. Will strip fitter and makes plenty of appeal.
