Waterford Race 7

525 Yds (A3)

Stake: $742

POULLDARRIG JET (2) has a strong record this track and trip with two wins and two placings from five starts. In the money last time at this track (29.17) in an A4, finishing a nose second. Looks suited and should go close. ALMIGHTY DANNY (4) hit the frame latest (29.91) when second at this track in an A3. Has three wins already from this trap. Among the main chances. SLANEYSIDE BUD (5) is a capable type and proved too strong last time to win by a neck at this track in a handy 29.89 beating ALMIGHTY DANNY. Expected to measure up again. NANS STARLING (3) was well backed last start but ran below expectations when fourth (29.18), beaten a head.

Good effort to score last start by 10 lengths over 480m at this track in 29.18, beating Risk It Duke. Has the fence but others are preferred.

In the money two back then disappointed when she finished 4th over 480m at this track beaten a head (29.18) behind Nametab Skylark in an A4 on December 20. Has ability and worth including.
