Coco can channel early pace to dominate her Waterford rivals

COCO DELUXE is nine without a win but has made the podium in all bar two of those starts and looks to have a great opportunity to score dropped in grade for Waterford's A4 over 525 yards at 12.54.

Mary Flynn's bitch has proved vulnerable late on recently in slightly stronger races but can again call the shots early and that will have a few of the other potential front-runners under pressure immediately.

A consistent starter, she does look the likeliest to set the pace and would not need too much to happen in behind to convert that into victory.

Additional Waterford fancies are Almighty Pete (12.04) and Brynoffa Mercury (12.21), while Ballymartin Gary (3.59), Millmount Rocky (4.56) and Court Kate (5.14) are suggested at Thursday's other Irish SIS meeting at Limerick.

First meeting under way is Oxford where Jason Ray's Savana Frenchy (12.46) looks best, while Robert McCarthy's Rearcross Rebel (6.56) and Donna Davy's Quare Surprise (7.42) can score at evening meetings at Star Pelaw - free entry as part of National Greyhound Week - and Valley respectively.
