Waterford Race 10

SURPRISE (3) finds it hard to win. Finished second (29.97) at this track latest and might be close to finding winning form again. Sure to be about the mark. BALLYGUR ANDY (4) turned in a better effort at this track last start, finishing third behind Whiteys Miranda (30.21) in an A7. Settled off speed and worked to the line nicely. Expected to be in the finish again. BOG CUSH MAGGIE (6) was prominent throughout when winning two back but could manage only midfield last time when 5th and beaten 2.75 lengths at this track (30.30). Can do much better this time. ALMIGHTY ORLA (1) is worth another chance despite missing the top-three here most recently.

Didn't fire two runs back then progressed nicely last time to finish second over 480m at this track. Put the writing on the wall last start so follow her up.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to finish third over 480m at this track. Can take this out on the back of that sound recent effort.

Could only manage fourth last time out over 480m at this track, adding to some plain results of late. Happy to risk in this.
