Punchestown Race 8 - Irish Stallion Farms Ebf Mares Flat Race
EASTERN WHISPER (4) Debutant 5yo by Sea The Stars for Stephen Gerard Carey. Great to see jockey P W Mullins taking the ride. Watch betting. BACK IN FAVOUR (1) Came in 3rd last start at Listowel and dropping in class. Very competitive this preparation and solid career start. Back in trip. Respect in this event. CASEY QUEST (9) First appearance at the races 4yo by Walkinthepark for trainer Yvonne Latta. Watch early betting. FINNELLATIMES (5) First start at the races 5yo by Court Cave for Dermot Anthony Mcloughlin. Large claim helps. Betting is the best guide.

Ran well when 3rd last start at Listowel and competing at a lower level of competition. Has run into the money regularly this campaign. Will be down in distance. Forward showing expected.

Tidy effort when 2nd last run at Kilbeggan. Prefer a return to something a lot easier.

Started at $41.00 and finished 8th last time in a hurdle at Navan but stepping down to a lower level. Might have to make up considerable ground. Rather have another day.

Racing as a debutant 5yo by Court Cave for trainer Dermot Anthony Mcloughlin. D Mcgill provides some weight relief. Watch for a sign in the market.

Expecting to settle positively. The large claim from N M Bradley should help and was on debut last time. Facing weaker opposition. Highly unlikely to feature here.

Odds of $11.00 and ran 5th last start at Down Royal but was a debutant last start. Competing in a less challenging grade. Should be included in your exotics.
