Waterford Race 9

525 Yds (A6)

Prize Money: $528

FORGE RUBY (1) was well backed last start but ran below expectations when fourth (29.56), beaten 6 lengths. The form out of her last race has been franked. Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. NANS CROSSAN (2) has a moderate overall strike-rate. Finished in the money last time though when third (29.69) at this track. Strong form has emerged from her last run. Winning chance. MONBEG NATALIE (3) is a capable type and proved too classy last time to win by 2 lengths at this track in a handy 29.78 beating Slaneyside Flo. Expecting another bold showing. QUIBBLE (4) was well supported last time but could only manage second (29.60), beaten one length. Goes well out of this box with a win and seven minor placings. Nicely placed to grab a well-deserved win.

Good effort last time when third (29.69) over 480m at this track. Coming off a solid run but has won just one of 25 starts. Prefer others.
