Waterford Race 5

525 Yds (A3)

Stake: $705

BALLYBRAZIL CUBA (3) is a talented type who notched his 10th career success when too good (29.29) at this track last time. Form here at the trip sound including 10 wins. Expected to measure up again. NANS STARLING (2) produced a modest effort most recently when fifth at this track over 480m behind Happy Days Syd (29.44) in an A2. Should be thereabouts. SAMROSE BONO (5) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing fifth (29.66) last time in an A3 at this track. Worth following up. AIRMOUNT LUCKY (6) will need to run right up to last start to feature again.

Outstanding performance after taking an early lead to score in an A6 by 12 len at this track over 480m (29.18). Doesn't profile as a likely winner.
