Waterford Race 8

525 Yds (A5)

Stake: $627

ALMIGHTY ELSA (6) tends to drift back and work into the race, charging home into the minors two back before winding up late into second (29.36) in an A4 at this track last time. Expected to feature in the finish again. ANN SPAGS (2) is a smart beginner who has shown good improvement at her last two starts, the latest scoring at this track over 480m. Expecting another bold showing. CLONCUNNY AVA (3) was responsible for a modest effort most recently when sixth at this track over 480m behind Airmount Lucky (1:39.99) in an A5. Expected to feature in the finish. BARRA KLAUS (4) was out of the frame here most recently but can atone.

Moderate effort last start when she finished 5th over 480m at this track beaten 4.5 lengths (29.99) behind Dungill Lola in an A6 on July 3. Draws the inside but looks tested.

Good effort after taking an early lead to score in an A5 by nose at this track over 480m (29.52). The one to beat again.

Finished fifth two starts ago then regained form last time out when he found a couple better over 480m in an A5 at this track. Hard to make a case on this occasion.
