Dundalk Race 6 - Book Online At Dundalkstadium.com Handicap
KC BEAR (4) Resuming after a break. Got the upper hand late when winning by a nose last time here and racing over a longer distance. Showing improvement in recent outings. Winning chance in what appears a suitable race. SAGASTI (1) First run back from a break. Placed 3rd last run at the track but stepping up to a higher level. Likely to be well placed early. Strong chance. ENTHUSIASTICALLY (6) First up from a break of 15 weeks and really dug deep when winning first up last preparation at this venue. Looks value and a good place bet. COSMIC MOTION (2) Had a break from racing and returns to competition. Fairly underwhelming when 7th last start here and will have to carry more weight. Each way value.

Resuming. Was competitive when 3rd last run at this venue but matched against a stronger field. Should be going forward early. Solid chance.

First run back after break. Jumped at 5/1 and mediocre performance when 7th last start at the track and carrying more weight than last time. Definitely worth considering.

Fresh from a break. Claimed a tight victory last time around here and facing a rise in trip. Prefers to settle towards the tail. Very capable of taking this out.

Finished 6th last time here but has a good draw. Up against a higher level of opposition. Down in distance. Can't leave out of your calculations.

First up after a break. Subpar when 9th last start here and challenged by more formidable competitors. Does take a while to get into stride. Gets some weight relief. Cannot recommend as a betting proposition.

Started 250/1 and disappointing outing when 12th last run at this venue but gets some weight taken off. Facing a stronger group of contenders. Looks too tough.
