Kilkenny Race 7 - 525 Yds (A3)
ORIENTAL DIAMOND (4) was an impressive winner last time in quickest of the meeting when scoring by 1.5 lengths (29.02) at this track. Rates a top chance again. NOIRS BEN (3) comes off a useful 29.12 placing at this track over 480m. Expecting another bold showing. COMER SHARK (2) has a fair record and proved too classy last time to win by a neck at this track in a handy 29.52 beating GOLDMINE DIAMOND. Goes well out of this box with a win and four minor placings. Form should stack up. GOLDMINE DIAMOND (1) is a last-start close-up placegetter - solid claims again.

In the money at this track at his last couple of starts, most recently finishing second over 480m. Won't find this any harder. Right in this.

Followed a minor placing at this track two runs ago with a sound third, beaten 1.75 lengths, last start in an A3 at this track over 480m (29.64). This might be too rich.
