Waterford Race Fields - 27th Apr 2024

MARKET CLUB (trap 4) has solid credentials for this contest and he is where many votes will be cast. Providing he avoids mishaps, he can prove too good. Banba Brightside (trap 3) has been given a chance and won't need a second invitation to grab it with both paws. Rosegarland Niro (trap 2) needs to avoid being in a pocket from this draw, which won't be that easy.

RELATED SET (trap 1) has a clear cut chance on the formbook and he is unlikely to come up empty if giving this 100 per cent effort from the outset. Darbystown Eric (trap 4) is certainly a leading contender and can give the selection a run for their money. Astons Douglas (trap 3) is a player especially if the main fancies make a few early errors.

The progress of CUSHIE SUE (trap 5) has been noted and there's every chance of a winning run here based upon it. Sparta Martha (trap 6) would be a threat to all if things go to plan through the crucial early metres. Whiteys Dawn (trap 4) will be aiming high, but may have her ego deflated by a couple of these.

There wouldn't appear to be many obstacles standing in the way of KELLSBORO PHOEBE (trap 6) and victory today, with a hassle-free run likely to suffice. If Nans April (trap 3) can escape from the midfield draw then she can deliver the forecast loot. Slaneyside Pumba (trap 4) may be the best of the rest as the remainder look held.

DOWNTOWNMOONCOIN (trap 3) should be seen in with a chance of winning and he can be fancied to have the deal sealed before turning for home. It's unwise to under-rate runners with so little track experience and Wotcannaigetya (trap 4) fits the bill here. Whitewood Ruby (trap 1) is certainly getting to grips with things here.

MISS WILDCAT (trap 1) appears to be quite well in at the weights against this company and she is taken to come out on top when it matters. On what she has shown in practice, Meraxes (trap 3) looks an above-average sort, so she has to be a danger. Is Dazl Twink Babe (trap 2) ready to adjust to the hurly-burly of racing after being in the practice ring?

MY LIL SHAZZA (trap 1) continues on a learning curve of the track but she still takes the eye as the one to beat. Barro Ellie (trap 4) can be relied upon to give a bold showing and she can complete the link for forecasts. Honey Bunny (trap 3) has been dealt a fair hand but could be folding once the stakes are raised.

If this is a falsely run race, then TRINITY JUNIOR (trap 1) could pick up the pieces. Saying that, he would still have a chance in a true run affair, so he rates the percentage call. Jacktavern Bolt (trap 3) should quickly get involved and be there vying for a medal when it matters. Droopys Fidget (trap 2) is expected to find a couple too good but could still run well enough.

TOKER PAULIE (trap 1) is likely to be all the rage and prove extremely difficult to beat in this field. With nominal good fortune, he can win with plenty to spare. Daring Caesar (trap 5) should attract support as he is capable of giving the selection a run for their money. The chances of Barnahask Bob (trap 6) are respected, although he may come up a bit short.

The anticipation is high concerning the chances of GENEVA EAGLE (trap 1) against this company and he is not the sort to go letting the side down. Crack On Ivy (trap 4) knows the rules and is expected to be bang in contention when push comes to shove. Highpath I Dunno (trap 2) will need a little luck early as drawn, but she is a runner on paper.

SLANEYSIDE HANKS (trap 1) looks fairly obvious and, indeed, he rates one of the day's bankers. A clear run initially and these rivals can be put to the sword. Brynoffa Tigger (trap 5) is a nice enough sort who can play a leading role if things open up favourably. It's still a learning game with Bonnie Me (trap 4) as he has limited course experience.
