Waterford Race 3

525 Yds (A4)

Prize Money: $557

HOOKY HANDICAP (6) is a talented type and proved too strong last time to win by a head at this track in a handy 29.37 beating SLANEYSIDE SOLAS. Looks the testing material. SLANEYSIDE SOLAS (1) pinged the lids from the low draw and led until late to place (29.38) at this track in an A4 over 480m. Expected to feature. PERFECTIONISM (2) has a strong record this track and trip with seven wins and five placings from 16 starts. Recorded a neck win (29.59) in an A4 last time at this track. Looks one of the chances. KILGRANEYDEKING (3) is a last-start placegetter at this track and distance - solid claims again.

Had won two on end but missed the hat-trick last start when second and beaten a head (29.38) in an A4 over 480m at this track. Can return to winning form.

Good effort to score last start by a neck over 480m at this track in 29.59, beating Ballygur Pookie. Makes appeal on the back of that latest win.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to be beaten just 1.75 lengths into third over 480m at this track. The recent effort suggests he is a genuine hope.

In the money at this track at his last couple of starts, most recently finishing second over 480m. No easier here and likely to struggle.
