Waterford Race 4 - 525 Yds (A5)

BALLYGUR MAX (1) was in the minors two back then strongly fancied last time at this track where he led until late, recording another placing when second (30.01) in an A5. Hits the ground running. Consistent performer from this draw with a win and three minor placings to his credit. Leading player again. WHITEYS WAR HERO (3) found the frame here last start and looks a top-three hope again. GRACES BOY (6) was well fancied in betting last start but could only manage 4 lengths away in second (29.60). Must come into calculations. SLANEYSIDE YEATS (2) jumped well from this trap last time and was prominent throughout before holding second (29.67) in an A5 at this track over 480m. Expected to feature.
