Waterford Race 9

525 Yds (A4)

Prize Money: $563

GIDDYUP BONNIE (3) has a fair record and proved too classy last time to win by a nose at this track in a handy 29.45 beating Fiery Jack. Great chance to get the job done again. BALLYGUR MICHAEL (4) missed the frame latest (29.71) when fifth over 480m at Kilkenny in an A4. Loves this trap, having won three of five starts. Can feature in the finish. SLANEYSIDE LUKE (2) trailed the lead and fought on well to be beaten 2 lengths into third (29.60) at this track in an A4 over 480m. Expected to feature again. DARK FAIRY (6) was strongly supported last start but missed the frame when fourth (29.67), beaten 3 lengths.

Below best last start when she finished last over 480m at this track beaten 8 lengths (30.35) behind Slaneyside Tegan in an A3 on July 17. Can't recommend against this lot.

Had won two on end but missed the hat-trick last start when third and beaten 2 lengths (29.60) in an A4 over 480m at this track. No surprise if he was back in the winners' list.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by a nose over 480m at this track in a handy 29.45, beating Fiery Jack. Has run slick time here with a 29.04 PB at the distance. Go close.
