Waterford Race 9

525 Yds (A7)

Stake: $1,388

SURPRISE (2) has been hard to follow lately, running sixth (30.39) last time but prior to that ran very well when placed at this track. Meets a moderate line up and rates on top this time. SIX PERFECTIONS (3) stalked the lead from trap 5 and boxed on well to finish 2 lengths back in second (29.92) at this track in an A7 over 480m. Overdue and is among the main hopes. KEPT LADY (4) has a moderate overall strike-rate. Finished in the money last time though when third (29.99) at this track. Bold showing expected. ALMIGHTY MIKIE (5) cannot be underestimated.

Finished sixth two starts ago then regained form last time out when he found a couple better over 480m in an A6 at this track. Cannot enthuse despite that better recent effort.

In the money two back then disappointed when she finished last over 480m at this track beaten 18 lengths (30.39) behind Slaneyside Ross in an A7 on September 4. Rates highly and looks tough to beat.

Followed a minor placing at this track two runs ago with a sound second, beaten 2 lengths, last start in an A7 at this track over 480m (29.92). Consistent performer who is hard to go past.
