Dundalk Race 7 - Greyhound Racing Every Weekend Handicap
KEEPSGETTINGBETTER (1) Won narrowly by 1/2L last run around here and facing a rise in trip. Will be giving the leaders a big start. Going up in weight. Rates well in this race. ELM CREEK (2) Did well when 3rd last time at Navan. Large claim helps. Good chance and wouldn't be surprised to see it pick up a win. RAMAIR (6) Came in 5th last time here but stepping up in distance. Should race on the speed. The large claim from Julian Pietropaolo should help. Not out of this. MUSASHI (3) Back from a break. Unsatisfactory performance when 11th last start at this venue but stepping up in trip. Likely to get back in the field. Has to be included.

Really dug deep when winning by 1/2L last run at this venue and going up in distance. Likely to settle back in the field. Carrying more weight than last time. Will be fighting out the finish.

Amongst the placegetters when 3rd last time at Navan. Paddy Harnett takes a large claim. Commands respect.

First up after a break. Fairly underwhelming when 11th last start at this venue but rising in trip. Likely to get back in the run. Will appreciate a good draw. Not dismissing.

Started $151.00 and underperformed when 8th last time at Naas but racing over more ground. Might be ridden for luck. Rough hope.

Had a break from racing and returns to competition. Finished 8th last run at the track but has a positive stall. Expected to settle towards the rear. Rising in distance. Watch the betting.

Started at $17.00 and ran 5th last time at this track but facing an increased distance. Should be going forward early. Large claim helps. Could feature prominently.
