Dundalk Race 5 - Michael And Esther Cooney Memorial Nursery Hcp
SOMEDAY SOMEWHERE (2) Struggled when 7th last time at Down Royal. Has the ability to turn things around. Warrants a bet. SCARLET DREAM (3) Not up to scratch when 5th last time at Fairyhouse. Looking past the last run and matched against less formidable competition. A win wouldn't surprise. TIO JOAO (1) Underperformed when 5th last time at Fairyhouse. Won't be far away during the run. Can take this out. LITTLEPACER (9) Ran well when 3rd last run at Sligo and matched against lesser competition. Gets back and needs luck. Gets a favourable draw. Serious player.

Odds of 5/1 and below standard effort when 5th last time at Fairyhouse. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Win will not surprise.

Started 7/2 and underwhelming when 7th last time at Down Royal. Has the ability to turn things around. Worth a lot of thought in this race.

At 14/1 disappointing outing when 5th last time at Fairyhouse. Looking past the last run and stepping down to a lower level. Definite claims.

At 20/1 ran 9th last start at Naas but matched against a less competitive field. Expecting to settle positively. Going up in trip. Can run into the placings.

Jumped at 80/1 and clearly outclassed when 7th last time at Cork. This looks a tough assignment.

Jumped at 300/1 and performed below standard when 18th last time at Curragh but will benefit with the weight drop. Likely to settle back in the field. Pass at this stage.

Started 14/1 and mediocre display when 13th last run at Naas but competing in a less challenging grade. Large claim helps and can find a nice position from the draw. Should definitely be in your tricast bets.

Was competitive when 3rd last run at Sligo and challenged by less formidable competitors. Likely to get back. Has the ideal draw. Has a credible chance.
