Dundalk Race 7 - Greyhound Racing Every Weekend Handicap
ELM CREEK (2) improved on the switch to handicaps at Navan eleven days ago whilst wearing cheekpieces for the first time. This test could suit much better and he looks the one to beat. KEEPSGETTINGBETTER (1) steps up in trip after shedding the maiden tag at this venue three weeks ago. May take a big step forward with this trip sure to suit. Rates highly. RAMAIR (6) wasn't disgraced despite being a distant fifth here in latest. Step up in trip could unlock further potential and cannot be ruled out. MUSASHI (3) makes his handicap debut after being gelded and now adopts a visor for the first time. Market check advised.
