Navan Race 7 - Bective Restaurant Handicap
PLINY (2) Just average when 8th last start at Dundalk. Will be positive in the run early. Key player. PALACE TYNE (7) Back from a 30 week spell. Did well when 3rd last time at this track and going down in grade. Might have to make up considerable ground. No shock to see a win. SURVIVOR'S CODE (12) Resuming. Finished 6th last run at Galway but challenged by less formidable competitors. Likely to settle back in the field. Drawn well. Stepping up in distance. Can take this out. BALANCE OF TRADE (13) First run back from spell. Came in 7th last run at Galway but competing in a less challenging grade. Prefers to settle towards the rear. Racing over more ground. Serious player.

At $4.50 not up to scratch when 8th last start at Dundalk. Has plenty of early speed. Goes well and could be a value opportunity.

Resumes after a break. Odds of $51.00 and ran 8th last start at Dundalk. Gets back and needs luck. Better to look elsewhere.
