Listowel 3:30 Result

Wie Wunderbar shows the strongest recent form trajectory of anyone in this 18-runner handicap - form figures 3621 show she's been running into a fresh win last time and is clearly progressive. She carries a competitive OR of 68, is trained by Jessica Harrington (a top-tier flat yard) and has Shane Foley booked, a strong jockey booking that signals confidence. She's proven at winning fresh and the step up to 1m4f with a recent win suggests the trip and this shape of race suit. Rodeo Blues (JP O'Brien) also has a good record with 461155 but has been running without winning as often recently and drops in class slightly less convincingly than Wie Wunderbar's upward trend. Montevetro (239) is also interesting with a recent win but is unproven at this longer trip having won over shorter. Priorstown looks like a). Draw is a concern (18, widest) but with fitness and quality this should be overcome in a test at 1m4f where barriers matter less than in sprints. The manageable weight (138lbs, mid-pack) and quality yard/jockey combo give her the edge for value at what should be a competitive but not overwhelming price given the strength of her recent form.
