Waterford Race 3

525 Yds (A2)

Prize Money: $536

NANS APRIL (3) was strongly fancied last time on the back of a win two back but could only manage second (29.18) at this track. Hard to beat again. BRYNOFFA JIMBOB (4) had won two in a row before finishing third (29.28) last time at this track. Comes through a solid form race last start. Expected to be in the finish again. BALLYBRAZIL CUBA (1) hit the ground running from trap four and prominent early but run ended and faded to finish 6th at this track in A3 company. Has a good record here at this journey. Consistent performer from this draw with a win and two minor placings to his credit. Worth another chance. GRACES BOY (6) boasts a solid strike-rate over this trip.

Could only manage sixth last time out over 480m at this track, adding to some plain results of late. Has the inside draw but looks tested.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by one length over 480m at this track in a handy 29.25, beating Nans Ziggy. Deserved winner last time after finishing in the money four on end prior to that. Can make it two on the trot.
