Waterford Race 3

525 Yds (A6)

Prize Money: $538

BALLYGUR RUBY (4) boasts a strong record this journey with seven wins and six minors from 21 tries. Recorded a half a length win (29.79) in an A6 last time at this track. Makes strong appeal on best. SURPRISE (1) turned in a better run last time to find a minor placing (29.64) at this track behind Tycoon Jacob in an A5. Settled off speed and worked to the line nicely. Expecting another good run. FORGE RUBY (2) was popular in betting last start but disappointed when 8 lengths away in fourth (30.13). Was in the money the start prior. Better than last start and can bounce back. QUIBBLE (3) was strongly fancied last time but ran below expectations when fourth (29.84), beaten 0.7 lengths.

Turned in a better effort over 480m at this track last start, finishing third behind Tycoon Jacob in an A5. Speedy conveyance who looks hard to beat.
