Listowel Race 7 - Jet, Peggy & Eamonn O'carroll Memorial Hcp
COUNT BEZUKHOV (1) Fresh from a spell. Good effort to run 3rd last time at Doncaster and competing in a less challenging grade. Promising career start. Expected to fight out the finish. BAY OF STARS (2) Faded to finish 14th last run at York. Looking past the last run and competing at a lower level of competition. Honest performer putting a tidy record together. Has to be strongly considered. HUFF'N'PUFF (3) First up from a break of 13 weeks and in the money when 3rd first up last preparation at Navan on a heavy surface. Likely to be well placed early. Can take this out. MERGUS SERRATOR (4) Came in 5th last start at Galway but goes down in class. Respect against this field.

Was $13.00 and looked outclassed when 14th last run at York. Looking past the last run and up against a less competitive field. Solid career start. Goes up in weight. Can win this.

First up from a break of 13 weeks and tidy effort when 3rd first up last preparation at Navan on a heavy track. Competing in an easier class. Drawn well. Good chance and definitely has claims.

Jumped at $26.00 and weakened to finish 13th last run at York but facing a weaker group of contenders. Gets back and needs luck. Has more weight to carry. Has to improve out of sight.

Competitive effort when 3rd last run at Galway and putting a tidy record together so far. Should muster plenty of early toe. Been in the placegetters each start this campaign. Possible place chance.

Solid win by 2L last time at Navan and will find this grade more suitable. Won't be far away during the run. Demonstrating upward trajectory in recent races. Watch the betting.
