Punchestown Race 3 - Win A Trip To Lapland At Punchestown On Sun 22 November Mdn
OKLAHOMA (6) Below par when 6th last run at Listowel. Expected to rebound. The wide draw shouldn't be a problem with plenty of early speed. Ticks plenty of boxes and looks like value . PRINCETON (7) Frankel 2yo having first start for Aidan P Obrien and has a nice advantage with a good draw. Watch the market moves. DAWNMORE (1) Ran 4th last time at Naas. Can make a comeback and good career start. Going well this preparation. Hard to dismiss. IMPOSING (3) Amongst the placegetters when 2nd last run at Leopardstown but facing stiffer opposition. Can threaten if right today.

Was $5.50 and came in 4th last time at Naas. Can make a comeback and promising career start. In a purple patch of form since returning from a spell. Attracts support.

Jumped at $126.00 and sub-standard effort when 14th last run at Thurles but fitter for debut run. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Up against stronger competition. Will struggle against these.

On a quick turnaround. Odds of $81.00 and was ordinary when 9th last run at Navan but racing over more ground. Gets back and needs luck. Drawn nicely. Needs significant improvement.

Tidy effort when 2nd last run at Curragh and having second race start. Likely to get back in the run. Competing in a more challenging class. This won't be easy.

Odds of Evens and not competitive when 6th last run at Listowel. Expected to rebound. Has the necessary speed to mitigate the wide draw. Absolutely right in this.

Started at $13.00 and below expectations when 13th last run at Gowran Park but having second career run. Have to respect the recent yard form. Appears tested in this event.

Was $251.00 and disappointing display when 9th last start at Leopardstown and competing in a higher grade. Priced to finish behind most.

Was $151.00 and finished 8th last run at Curragh and facing formidable competition. Prefers to settle towards the tail. May find these too slick.

Jumped at $41.00 and unimpressive effort when 12th last start at Curragh but was on debut last time. Likely to get back. Facing a stronger group of contenders. Looks hopeful.
