Dundalk Race 3 - Bar 1 Betting Gift Vouchers Available In Shop Handicap

Bidding for a hat-trick INSTANT APPEAL (4) placed third on stable and AW debut here during October prior to comfortable consecutive course wins. Drops back in distance. Major player. Bottom weight DARK ACE (10) is two from seven at this venue. Short of room when keeping on for fourth here over 1207m tackling latest. Climbs in trip and looks interesting off a career-low rating. BIG GOSSEY (1) is a two-time course winner. Three from seven attempting the journey and makes plenty of appeal. FLAMING RIB (8) secured seven victories on turf however is unplaced in three AW outings. Wears first-time cheekpieces. Place chance.

Chasing a hat-trick. At the latest run favourite; won by 1.0 len at this track December 5 over 1609m defeating Carolina Jetstream with 56kg at $3. The race before that favourite; came home strongly from last on the turn and won by 0.8 len at this track November 5 over 1609m defeating Vlhova carrying 62kg at $2.10. In great form and should be right in the thick of things again.

Form hard to fault. Most recently 3rd of 8 at this track on December 5 over 1609m, 2.75 len behind Instant Appeal carrying 59kg at $29. The run before that 3rd of 7 at this track on November 7 over 1609m, 5 len behind Tokenomics with 59.5kg at $26. Worth plenty of thought.

Racing well recently. At the latest run came home strongly from last on the turn; 4th of 13 at this track on December 12 over 1207m, 1.75 len behind Little Queenie carrying 58.5kg at $4.50. The run before that 2nd of 9 at this track on November 26 over 1207m, 4 len behind Sir Les Patterson carrying 54.5kg at $15. Will be at his peak and makes plenty of appeal.
