Waterford Race 11 - 525 Yds (A3)
BALLYGUR POOKIE (3) boasts a strong record this journey here with 15 wins and 16 minors from 45 tries. Was out of the placings last time (30.01) at this track in an A3, finishing fifth and beaten 1.75 lengths. Rates on top and should go close. JEWEL HOPE (2) has some solid form under his belt and proved too classy last time to win by 4.5 lengths at this track in a handy 29.25 beating Tycoon Fota. Bold showing expected again. GRACES BOY (5) has shown good improvement at his last two starts, the latest scoring at this track over 480m. The form from his last run is stacking up nicely. Should be in this for a long way. ALMIGHTY TARA (4) is right in the mix.

Below his best last time over 480m at this track (30.01) in an A3, finishing 1.75 lengths away in fifth. Strong record at this track and trip with 15 wins and 16 placings from 45 starts. Looks hard to beat with even luck.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by 4 lengths over 480m at this track in a handy 29.48, beating Rastafari Riley. Has hit winning form and can go on with it.

Good effort to score last start by a head over 480m at this track in 29.24, beating Market Lough. Can make it back to back wins.

Finished fifth two starts ago then regained form last time out when he found a couple better over 480m in an A3 at this track. May find this a bit too tough.
