Waterford Race 8 - 525 Yds (A5)
BALLYGUR DIVA (4) was well in the market last time but only managed fourth (29.72), beaten 3 lengths. Was in the money the start prior. Key runner on her best form. KNOCKDUFF WILD (2) has been going along well and was strongly fancied last time but could only manage third (29.68) at this track. Has performed well from this box with a win and nine minor placings to his name from 16 starts. Expected to feature. FORGE TARA (5) turned in a plain performance last time when sixth at this track over 480m behind Famous Betty (30.05) in an A5. Consistent performer from this draw with a win and two minor placings to her credit. A forward showing wouldn't surprise. WHITEYS ROCKSTAR (6) is a last-start placegetter here at this trip - worth considering.

Returned from a spell last time out in an A5 at this track and finished fifth over 480m (29.53). Better for the run but looks tested this time.

Racing consistently, including a win three back at this track, before placings at last two runs, the latest when third (29.68) over 480m at this track. Thereabouts at the last couple. Suited here and likely to run well.

Below best last start when he finished 4th over 480m at this track beaten 6 lengths (29.60) behind Walkabout Charly in an A4 on June 18. Not among the main chances this time.

In the money two back then disappointed when she finished 4th over 480m at this track beaten 3 lengths (29.72) behind Risk It Duke in an A5 on June 18. Capable of improvement on latest effort. Well placed and should feature.

Last start finished last on June 11 over 480m at this track behind Famous Betty beaten 7 lengths (30.05) in an A5. Can make amends. Worth including.

Produced a much better performance last start when third over 480m at this track in an A5. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Thereabouts of late and can feature with the right run.
