Downpatrick Race 7 - Alan Dunlop, 90th Birthday Flat Race
VARGAS (4) Gordon Elliott trained 5yo by Vadamos on debut. Watch early betting. CULLDOO (5) Resumes from a break. Looked good when 3rd last time at this track and having second career run. Great to see jockey P W Mullins taking the ride. Appears as a winning threat. TOMMY'S TICKET (3) Nice run when 3rd last start at Ballinrobe and lining up against easier rivals. The large claim from J Dunne should help. One of the major players. MARTYMILL (2) Finished 6th last start at Galway but taking on a lower class of opponents. Will be giving the leaders a big start. One of the hopes.

7yo by Green Moon having first start for John G Carr. Large claim helps. Betting as a guide.

Odds of $15.00 and ran 6th last start at Galway but competing at a lower level of competition. Might have to make up considerable ground. One for the value hunters.

Ran 3rd last start at Ballinrobe and facing a weaker group of contenders. J Dunne provides some weight relief. Definite contender.

Back from a break. Honest race when 3rd last time around here and was a debutant last start. Jockey P W Mullins is a bonus and facing weaker opposition. Will attract plenty of interest.

Competitive effort when 3rd last run at the track and having second race start. Large claim helps and facing less formidable opponents. Rather have another day.
