Dundalk Race 2 - Floodlit Friday Nights At Dundalk Stadium Claiming Race
TYSON FURY (3) Just average when 6th last time at this venue. May see an upturn in form and up against weaker rivals. Should muster plenty of early speed. Winning chance in what appears a suitable race. PERSIAN BLISS (2) Disappointing outing when 7th last start at this track. Should improve and lining up against easier rivals. Has shown early pace in races to date. Worth a bet. BENAVENTE (1) Close up last time at this venue and facing a weaker grade. Likely to be well placed early. On an upward trajectory in recent races. Could be value. PERFECT JUDGEMENT (5) Racing on a quick back up. Threw down a serious challenge last time at this venue but will appreciate the drop in class. Jamie Powell is a plus. Can feature.

Was agonizingly close last time here and challenged by weaker competitors. Displays good tactical speed. Getting better in recent performances. Must respect.

Lacklustre showing when 7th last start at the track. Should improve and facing less formidable opponents. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Attracts support.

Started 18/1 and mediocre display when 6th last time at this venue. May see an upturn in form and facing weaker opposition. Has early speed and positions nicely. Well respected contender.

First up from a spell of 34 weeks. Jumped at 6/1 and finished 4th last time at Killarney but drawn beautifully. Not in this.

On a quick back up. Started 18/1 and right up there last time here but up against a less competitive field. Jamie Powell takes the reins today. Significant value and can go close.

Back from a break. Started at 80/1 and below par when 14th last start at this track but gets a favourable stall. Expected to settle towards the rear. Cannot recommend as a betting proposition.
