Kilkenny Race Fields - 15th May 2024

This is a case of much rather being a player than a layer of BOGGER SKIMPY (trap 5) as he has found a decent-enough opening to go strutting his stuff. Rays Robin (trap 3) looks to have an obvious chance and is entitled to make the selection sweat a little. Moanvurrin Jake (trap 2) is in with a shout of making the placings under these conditions.

Form students have been keen to play QUITE PLEASE (trap 6) in the past and that may not be a bad approach in this line-up. Hillend Moon (trap 2) is one of the more interesting in the field and she can give the selection most to do. Dys Diamond (trap 4) has been sent off skinny-enough prices lately and can make the frame.

HILLROAD PADDY (trap 1) is one of the gilt-edged wagers of the day and he should be cashing in against these rivals if things go to plan. There's a reason for the good support that Carlsbush Syd (trap 3) attracts and he looks the main danger. Scotchrath Value (trap 6) usually sees plenty of support - will his fan club be back for more?

Supporters of LEMON SIN (trap 3) will be hoping she turns up with her A-game as this contest is very much for the taking if she does so. Ratchies Milo (trap 1) is very popular in the betting ring and he should be once more as he looks a live threat. Florican Best (trap 6) is no no-hoper and, as such, is entitled to a fair bit of respect.

ONE WAY WIND (trap 4) possesses enough ability to be a major player at this level of competition and he can get the job done against these. Lance Strolls (trap 6) won't be far away if things go right from the get-go, but he may be exposed if they don't. Cool Croo Vixen (trap 1) is expected to improve with further track experience.

Everything points to a big run from TRIANGLE BELINDA (trap 2) as she can be expected to beat these if things open up in the contest when she needs them to. The SPs of Knocknadoguewinx (trap 3) tell a story and there's the chance that everyone will be cautious once more. The tricast link could be Foyle Laura (trap 4) as she is capable of getting in the mix at some stage.

While accepting MA REIDY (trap 5) will need her fair share of good fortune, she still rates the most likely winner and is given the nod. Cill Dubh Theo (trap 6) often commands a chunk of the market and he may be in demand again. Respect Ballygur Diamond (trap 4), especially if he generates a few ripples in the betting ring.

KERRYDALE BUZZ (trap 4) can place a tick in more boxes than the rest of the field and he should be difficult to beat if the gaps appear at the right time. Market confidence can often centre around Annas Pride (trap 2) and it may not be misguided. With a good rails make-up, Volcano Vicky (trap 1) should not be far away at the line.

KILKENNY DIVA (trap 3) is fancied to hit the headlines against these and looks worthy of maximum confidence as her credentials are far superior to any of her rivals. Hello Sean (trap 2) hasn't had much experience here so he has plenty of scope. Bogger Casper (trap 5) is still settling into things around here, so commands some respect.
