Dundalk Race 5 - Dundalk Stadium Patton Race
ECHO OF FAITH (1) is narrowly preferred as one of several who arrive here with plenty of potential. Successful on final start as a juvenile in a competitive 1500m maiden. Big player on that form if fit and ready. BLANC DE BLANC (8) was streetwise enough to make a winning debut seven weeks ago at this track. Showed a bit of greenness so sure to come on for the experience. Feared again. REDEMPTION ROAD (2) is the highest rated here having shown best form tackling softer ground contests on turf last year. Another to consider. FLANKER JET (4) will likely give it a good go from the front and may take some passing.

Recent form sound. At the latest run 2nd in a small field at this track on February 6 over 1408m, nose behind Dancing Saxon with 61kg at $3.30. Before that won by 0.5 len at this track January 23 over 1408m defeating Astronomically with 61kg at $3.50. Solid top-three hope.
