The best will be left for last at Kilkenny this evening with the final three races on the card, the opening round heats of the 1XBET Tour Series A2 525.
Da Bould Johnjoe appeals in the opening heat. A regular scorer at Kilkenny over the past year, he can put a couple of defeats behind him to claim a twelfth career victory. Kilgraney Bob is the main danger to the selection.
The second heat is quite open. Walkabout Johnny has been lightly raced in recent months but would have big claim if repeating anything like his best early season form. Others respected include Noras Barnacle and Hello Petula.
The final heat can go the way of Kilgraney Wish. A wide margin winner last time, the wide seed can lead early to emerge a good winner once again.
