Dundalk Race 7 - Floodlit Fridays At Dundalk Stadium Race
Dual Grade 3 winning hurdler GAUCHER (4) registered a smart 9L victory on latest start here attempting 2000m during December beating a couple of these rivals in the process. Looks the safest option against this line-up. DALLAS STAR (3) made all the running landing this contest last year. Without a win since while keeping esteemed company. Warrants thought as dangerous against this opposition. A PIECE OF HEAVEN (1) brings the highest rating to this level-weights contest though has stood little racing lately. Clear chance on his best form. TRIBAL STAR (6) recorded a win and a second over course and distance. Feared.

Most recently second last of 12 at Leopardstown in the G1 Tattersalls Ireland Novice Hurdle on February 1 over 3218m, on a wet track; 34 len behind Talk The Talk with 75.5kg at $301. The start before that 4th in a small field at this track on January 16 over 3218m, 6 len behind Bryant with 64.5kg at $10. This looks a nice assignment so he can bounce back.
