Bellewstown Race 2 - Mac Tar Handicap
ELLY BAY (6) First up and nice run when 3rd first up last preparation at Leopardstown. Will find this grade more suitable. Drawn the rails. Going up in trip. Can get the job done. BALANCE OF TRADE (11) Backs up quickly. Ran 4th last run at Gowran Park. Likely to settle back in the field. Serious player. GOLD FIND (2) Came in 8th last time at Navan but taking on a lower class of opponents. Will be dropping in distance. Can take this out. PERSONIFIED (3) Nice run when 3rd last run at Dundalk and taking on easier opposition. Gets back and needs luck. A win wouldn't surprise.

Racing fresh today after a break. Started $13.00 and below standard effort when 11th last start at Dundalk but up against a less competitive field. Going up in weight. Good chance in this.

Odds of $12.00 and ran 8th last time at Navan but competing in an easier class. Back in trip. Could go close.

Jumped at $15.00 and finished 9th last time at Dundalk but will try to take advantage of the draw. Up in weight. Good enough chance at a very tempting price.

Started at $51.00 and fairly underwhelming when 12th last start at Naas but facing less formidable opponents. Racing over extra ground. Hard to have.

Fresh from a spell. Was $41.00 and disappointing run when 14th last start at Dundalk but up against weaker rivals. Does take a while to get into stride. Seems very unlikely.

On a short back up. Odds of $6.50 and finished 4th last run at Gowran Park but challenged by weaker competitors. Shows good early pace. Betting is the best guide.

Odds of $19.00 and disappointing outing when 10th last run at Dundalk but matched against a less competitive field. Might be ridden for luck. Going up in distance. Unlikely to go close.
