Dundalk Race 5 - Sunday 12Th July Ladies Day At Dundalk Stadium Maiden
BELIEVED (9) sets the standard after a strong 2nd at Leopardstown over 2011m, beaten 3.25L, and looks suited stretching to this trip. CITE FLORALE (10) is a key danger off her Naas 2088m 3rd, only 3L away. MINELLA ROCKETT (3) has solid juvenile Dundalk mile form with narrow 2nd and 3rd placings and can feature back here.
