Tipperary Race 6 - Tipperary Town Maiden
KILMEADEN (13) is knocking on the door after consecutive placings including a solid second at Ballinrobe. Ready to strike. PHAROS FREEDOM (14) debuts for a top yard. Bred to handle this and market confidence would be significant. KASGANI (12) has not shown his best yet. Looks capable of better and could surprise. LIGHT UP THE DARK (8) drops in grade after a stakes win two back. Can bounce back to form.

Third race start. First start 7th of 13 at Dundalk All Weather on November 15 over 2112m, 7 len behind Genoah carrying 62kg at $17. Went for a spell before returning 9th of 11 at Ballinrobe on May 9 over 1911m, 25 len behind Elana Osario with 61kg at $67. Can't see him turning things around.

Third-up today. First-up won by 2.25 len at Limerick LR March 23 over 3218m on a soft track defeating Starting Fifteen carrying 70kg at $2.20. Last start 7th of 11 at Ballinrobe on May 9 over 1911m, 12 len behind Elana Osario with 59kg at $4.50. Willing to forgive the last run; can atone.

At the latest run ran last in a small field at Killarney on May 13 over 2816m, 15 len behind San Salvador carrying 53.5kg at $301. Before that 16th of 18 at Cork on April 19 over 2112m, on a slow track; 55 len behind Nautical Force with 61kg at $201. This looks way out of her reach.

Lining up for just third start. At debut, 6th of 18 at Cork on April 19 over 2112m, slow going 14 len behind Nautical Force carrying 59.5kg at $5.50. Second-up 5th of 8 at Leopardstown on May 11 over 2414m, 4.5 len behind Roosevelt carrying 61kg at $19. Suitably placed and expected to go close this time.

Had two starts to date. At debut, 3rd of 18 at Cork on April 19 over 2112m, on a slow track; 6 len behind Nautical Force carrying 59.5kg at $11. Last start 2nd of 9 at Ballinrobe on May 9 over 2615m, 1.3 len behind Carmers carrying 59.5kg at $5. Has been racing well. Has plenty of upside and is right in this.
