Waterford Race 9 - 525 Yds (A5)
BALLYGUR RUBY (5) goes very well this course and distance starting 12 times for four wins and five minors. Was out of the placings last time (29.70) at this track in an A5, finishing fifth and beaten 7 lengths. Appeals as a leading chance in this. FIERY JACK (4) filled a minor placing last start at this track behind Rockmount Rebel (29.61) in an A4. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Must be included in calculations. CHARMING KIT (1) has a fair record and proved too classy last time to win by 3 lengths at this track in a handy 29.53 beating Almighty Eabha. Leading chance again. FORGE TORY (3) should be thereabouts despite an unplaced run here most recently.
