Waterford Race 2

525 Yds (A5)

Stake: $641

BALLYGUR RUBY (5) hit the frame latest (29.99) when second at this track in an A5. Rates on top and should go close. FORGE TARA (4) hit the ground running last start and was never headed (29.65) at this track in A6 over 480m. The form from her last run is stacking up nicely. Makes plenty of appeal if runs up to latest. SLANEYSIDE BUD (1) was well in the market last time but only managed fifth (30.17), beaten 11 lengths. Was in the money the start prior. Cannot be left out. RISK IT DUKE (2) hit the frame here last start so don't underestimate.

In the money two back then disappointed when he finished 5th on March 19 over 480m at this track behind Volcano Vicky beaten 11 lengths (30.17) in an A4. Capable of taking this out.

Didn't fire two runs back then progressed nicely last time to finish third over 480m at this track. Racing well enough to feature in the finish.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by 3.5 lengths over 480m at this track in a handy 29.65, beating Houdini Lass. Looks the one to beat again.

Sound effort to finish second last start over 480m at this track (29.99) in an A5. Strong record at this track and trip with three wins and five placings from nine starts. Looks hard to beat with even luck.
