Waterford Race 1

525 Yds (A5)

Prize Money: $517

BLUE BUCKO (3) comes off an average run last start when fifth at this track over 480m behind Slaneyside Fame (29.91) in an A5. The form out of last race has been strong. Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. GIDDYUP BELLE (2) last start finished 4th on October 29 over 480m at this track behind Jumbos Epic beaten 8 lengths (29.77) in an A5. Looks suited here and can measure up. BARLEYCORN (5) returned a better run last time, finishing in the money (29.73) at this track behind Slaneyside Fame in an A5. Got back and turned spotting a start but found the line impressively. Form from his last run is proving strong. Expected to feature again. JUMBOS ZIGGY (4) had been going along well and was strongly fancied last time but could only manage fourth (29.61) at this track. Consistent performer from this draw with a win and four minor placings to her credit.

Didn't fire two runs back then progressed nicely last time to finish third over 480m at this track. Hard to make a case on this occasion.

In the money two back then disappointed when she finished 4th in an A5 on October 22 over 480m at this track behind Giddyup Duchess beaten 0.6 lengths (29.61). Is a danger.

Finished in the money latest and looks close to a win. Settled off speed early and held position to finish second (29.73) at this track over 480m. Should be much improved on the experience. Strong form emerging from the last run.
