Dundalk Race 5 - Bet On The Best Night Out At Dundalk Stadium Nursery Hcp
LITTLEPACER (2) Was dominant when winning by 3 1/4L last start at Gowran Park and lining up against easier rivals. Prefers to settle towards the rear. Goes close. SCARLET DREAM (4) Not in contention when 7th last start here. Giving another go here and drops back to a suitable grade. Strong claims. CLOSEFIELD BEAU (1) Finished 4th last start at the track. Capable of a strong comeback and facing weaker opposition. Goes up in weight. Serious player. MUTAMARID LSK (6) Ran 4th last start at this venue but facing a weaker group of contenders.

Won by a big margin of 3 1/4L last start at Gowran Park and facing less formidable opponents. Expected to settle towards the rear. Major chance.

Started $19.00 and below par performance when 6th last run at Down Royal but stepping down to a lower level. Racing over a longer distance. Has a positive draw. Modest hope.

At $7.50 mediocre attempt when 7th last start at this venue. Giving another go here and facing a weaker grade. Should go close.

Odds of $201.00 and came in 13th last time at Navan and will have to carry more weight. Has shown early pace in races to date. Prefer others.
