Punchestown Race 8 - Irish Stallion Farms Ebf Mares (Pro/Am) Flat Race
BRAVE LADY (6) Finished 2nd last start at Limerick and competing in a lower grade. Solid career start. Will go well. AL ARRIVEE (1) Finished 4th last run at the track. Capable of bouncing back and will find this grade easier. Likely to be well placed early. P W Mullins is a key engagement. Winning hope. COCO'S LEGACY (2) Was rock solid when winning by 3 1/4L last run at Downpatrick and matched against lesser competition. Winnable race. ARE YOU THERE (4) Thomas Walsh trained 7yo by Pour Moi on debut. Watch early betting.

Was a comprehensive winner by 3 1/4L last run at Downpatrick and up against a less competitive field. Must be considered here.

First up from a break. Jumped at $51.00 and unsatisfactory performance when 8th last run at Navan but back in an easier grade. This won't be easy.

Resuming from a 58 week break. Started $51.00 and came in 8th last run at Kilbeggan but was a debutant last start. Might have to make up considerable ground. Better to look elsewhere.

Tidy effort when 2nd last start at Limerick and up against a less challenging field. Honest performer putting a tidy record together. Holds a major chance.

First run back after spell. Was $21.00 and ordinary performance when 13th last start at Down Royal but fitter for debut run. Challenged by weaker competitors. Will struggle against these.

First up from a spell of 38 weeks. Failed to finish at Galway on Sept 8th but having second career run. Facing a weaker group of contenders. Others make far more appeal.
