1XBET TOUR SERIES CONTINUES AT KILKENNY

Ian Fortune

There’s plenty of sweepstake action on offer at Kilkenny this evening including the semis of the 1XBET Tour Series A2 525.

Da Bould Johnjoe set a strong standard in the opening round and is likely to go close again in the second heat.

He faces the second fastest opening round winner Walkabout Johnny and the useful Kilgraney Bob, but will be hard to beat if repeating his latest display. The Mick English trained son of Grangeview Ten gets the nod to follow up.

The opening heat is quite open, although the bookends make most appeal. Walkabout Murt is well housed on the fence and led early to win his opening round assignment. From the draw he is respected, but preference is for Toms John Deere in the stripes. He was picked up late last week but is drawn to make another bold bid.

The Dominic McMonagle Memorial A4 525also gets underway and the three opening round heats should provide some decent action. Racing gets underway at 7.30pm.
