Punchestown Race 8 - Irish Stallion Farms Ebf Mares Flat Race
SHUIL SOLAS (7) encountered a smart performer when 4L second at Listowel. That form looks strong and could do better again. The one to beat. JUNCTION ROAD (10) represents a good yard. Showed plenty to work on when 5L fifth on debut at Down Royal. Significant improvement anticipated and should relish these conditions. Key player. BACK IN FAVOUR (1) gained experience from points. Placed in similar contests at Limerick and Galway recently and holds each way claims again. BAMBI FEVER (2) surprised the market when placing at Kilbeggan last time. May take a further step forward. Potential threat to all.
