Waterford Race 9

525 Yds (A3)

Prize Money: $640

BING KHAYA (6) was below best at his last couple, the latest finishing fifth at this track, but was among the placings at this track three back. Has the ability and looks a key chance here. ALMIGHTY DANNY (5) goes very well here starting nine times for three wins and four minors. Hit the frame latest (29.91) when second at this track in an A3. Looks suited here and can measure up. JEWEL HOPE (2) was strongly fancied last time on the back of a win two back but could only manage third (29.81) at this track. Consistent performer from this draw with a win and two minor placings to his credit. Expected to feature. SLANEYSIDE TREAT (3) is among the chances again if he runs up to the latest effort.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by 8 lengths over 480m at this track in a handy 29.24, beating Whiteys April. Has hit winning form and is worth thought again.

Got back early in the race last start when fifth over 480m at this track. Before that won comfortably by 6 lengths at this track (29.17) beating Pearse Thecooper in an A5 on January 15. Would be better placed in something easier.

Racing well of late. In the money two starts back at this track then finished runner-up at his latest appearance in an A3 at this track over 480m (29.91). Looks ready to win.
