Irish apprentice Ronan Keogh will represent Tasmania in the National Apprentices' Series in Adelaide on Wednesday.

Keogh, who has been indentured to trainer Julie Richards since October last year, is Tasmania's leading apprentice this season with 25 winners.

His biggest win came aboard the Troy Blacker-trained Dream Pedlar in the weight-for-age Listed Tasmanian Stakes (1600m) at Hobart last December.

"I'm quite excited about riding in the series and it is very much an honour to be representing Tasmania," Keogh said.

The apprentices' series comprises two races on the eight-event card at Morphettville Parks.

The riders in the series are allocated horses by ballot and Keogh will partner the Wally Bencic-trained Don Paco in the first leg, the Super Sunday May 2nd Hcp (1250m).

The gelding has drawn the rails and will be returning from a let-up after finishing third over 1600m at Ballarat in February.

Keogh will partner Bianium for David Jolly in the Allan Scott Park Morphettville Hcp (1400m) with the last start Murray Bridge placegetter to jump from gate nine.

"I'll be doing my best for Tassie," Keogh said.

Keogh had a three-month stint in Tasmania early last year before heading back to Ireland to tidy up personal matters and negotiate a permanent visa.

He rode 12 winners in the UK before making his move to Australia.

Keogh rides at 53kg and is eligible to claim 3kg on metropolitan tracks.

Fellow three kilo claimer Josh Adams, who is apprenticed to Garry Frazer at Hawkesbury, will represent NSW in the series.

The youngster has ridden more than 100 winners and has drawn to partner Under The Radar in the opening leg and Artacus in the 1400m race.

Other junior riders participating include top Adelaide apprentice Claudia Lions and Stacey Rawiller, sister of jockeys Nash and Brad Rawiller.
