Punchestown Race 7 - Matchbook 50/50 Series Mares Mdn Hurdle
BRICKFIELD BELLE (2) tried hurdles providing her debut finishing fifth without getting into the race. Was not ready for the test then but two runs in jumpers flats put her spot on to finish second behind an experienced hurdler last time. May go one place better here. VIVA LAA VIDA (4) shaped like this 4100m distance would suit during latest try in a jumpers flat race. Definite player. AFFINISEAANDBEYOND (1) was 8L second when last seen in a point-to-point running behind a nice performer. Should be competitive. ROCK ON SUZIE (10) is the only horse with no form in the race. This half sister for three multiple winners represents a top yard.

Racing second-up. First race start finished fifth of 13 runners at Down Royal on March 17 over 3520m, 8 len behind Lizzie Twigg with 71.5kg at $8. Went for a spell before returning finished fourth of 14 starters at Listowel on September 25 over 3218m, 4.5 len behind She Was The One carrying 75kg at $3.30. Looks a key chance on fresh run and expected to feature.

Resumes off a 30 day letup. Last start finished sixth of 12 starters at Fairyhouse on October 10 over 3218m, 43 len behind Ash Hobbs carrying 67.5kg at $51. The start before that; finished tenth of 13 runners at Navan on September 19 over 3218m, 12 len behind Double Helix with 68kg at $101. Won't find this easy.

Second-up today. Freshened for 38 days. Fresh up after five months finished sixth of 13 starters at Gowran Park on October 2 over 3218m, 34 len behind Ivatt with 70kg at $29. Previously second-up finished 13th of 16 starters at this track in the G3 Weatherbys Ireland Ebf Mares Bumper on April 29 over 3319m, 58 len behind Even Tho carrying 71kg at $151. Unlikely to be contesting the finish here.
