Waterford Race 9

525 Yds (A3)

Prize Money: $594

SLANEYSIDE SOLAS (2) had the drop on the lead from trap four before taking over turning, drawing clear to score (29.18) at this track in an A3 over 480m. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card in scoring last start. Hard to fault his form and he makes plenty of appeal. GIDDYUP BONNIE (1) was strongly fancied last time but ran below expectations when fifth (29.42), beaten 11 lengths. Boasts four wins from seven starts out of this box. Must be included in calculations. ALMIGHTY DANNY (6) jumped from this trap last time and also the same course and distance when a 3 length second (29.39) in an A3. Rates a key player. PLACID PIO (4) is chasing another win after a strong 29.19 win latest. Don't underestimate.

In the money two back then disappointed when she finished 5th on October 3 over 480m at this track behind Arch Whisperer beaten 11 lengths (29.42) in an A3. Goes very well from this draw including four wins. Leading player.

Missed the placings three back but unbeaten in two runs since, the latest claiming an A3 in 29.18 over 480m at this track. Top chance to chalk-up the hat-trick.

Racing consistently, including a win two back at this track, before a 2 length second (29.24) over 480m at this track last time. This looks too tough.

Winner two starts back at this track when scoring by 5 lengths in 29.15. Last start finished 4th on October 8 over 480m at this track behind Slaneyside Solas beaten 11 lengths (29.95) in an A3. Likely to find this too tough.
