Waterford Race Fields - 2nd May 2024

DOWNTOWNMOONCOIN (trap 2) regularly comes in for significant demand and a similar scenario can be expected today as this is well within his compass. Rockmount Falcon (trap 6) could come in for support again as he looks sure to make the selection battle hard. Slaneyside Ethan (trap 5) has been using up plenty of bookie's chalk and is in with a shout.

The chances of WHITEYS INVENTOR (trap 1) are well above average and he certainly ticks more boxes than the opposition. On that basis, he is hard to oppose. Punters can be keen to latch onto Almighty Mo (trap 2), who certainly has the talent to get involved. Slaneyside Beat (trap 4) looks the link for tricasts providing things go to plan initially.

A podium finish should be something of a formality for SLANEYSIDE RILEY (trap 4) against these and she may not need too much to happen to get the job done. The ability of Market Danger (trap 1) dictates he will be supported again and he won't be far away. Little Tender (trap 5) shouldn't be leaving empty handed but may come up a fraction short.

JUDY THECOOPER (trap 3) has been sent off at skinny-enough prices such is her level of ability for this class and hopes can be pinned to her mast here. The main danger is Kooyonga (trap 5), who won't throw the towel in if getting into the race before half way. Almighty Gerry (trap 6) can enjoy a smooth passage out wide and he would then be a runner.

BALLYGUR POOKIE (trap 5) looks pretty obvious in this contest and should prove devilishly difficult to beat if he is able to avoid the problematic hotspots en route. Nans Owl (trap 2) has more scope than most so the market may offer the best indication to her chances. The bookies are often cautious when it comes to pricing up Glenbervie Sion (trap 4).

ROCKMOUNT CORA (trap 6) possesses enough ability to be a major player at this level of competition and she can get the job done against these. The weight of money is normally for Slaneyside Remy (trap 3), who can bustle up the selection. Crack On Ivy (trap 5) has a chance and will probably be popular in the ring once more.

GLENBERVIE RICHY (trap 3) seems well in at the weights and would be fancied to make it count if things pan out as expected through the early going. Slaneyside Pumba (trap 4) often commands a chunk of the market and he may be in demand again. Jumbos Tess (trap 1) possibly has the best of the draw on the rails and could exploit it.

NOWAYNED (trap 4) looks a backable proposition in this company and he is fancied to get the job done come hell or high water. Almighty Stan (trap 2) is a threat although the draw complicates matters in that a clear is not guaranteed. Neptunes Dream (trap 6) has had the bookies running for cover before and isn't without hope.
