Waterford Race 2

525 Yds (A1)

Stake: $801

DARING RAMBO (5) has a fair record and proved too classy last time to win by 0.8 lengths at this track in a handy 28.97 beating BARNAHASK BRUCE. Winner at his latest appearance in one of the quickest times on the card. Well placed and will be tough to beat. BARNAHASK BRUCE (1) put in a much better performance last start when in the placings at this track behind DARING RAMBO (29.02) in an A1. Has the pace to be prominent. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last start. Leading player again. NANS SPARROW (4) has a strong record here with four wins and two placings from seven starts. In the money last time at this track (29.16) in an A1, finishing a 2.75 lengths third. Makes strong appeal on best. SALTEES ROYAL (3) can measure up with the right run.

Comments

Turned in a better effort over 480m at this track last start, finishing second behind Daring Rambo in an A1. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Has never missed the frame from four starts out of this box.

Good effort after racing in the second half of the field and improving to score in an A1 by 0.8 len at this track over 480m (28.97). Looks to have an edge on most of these.
