8:15 Dundalk Tips

She finished off well into fourth last time out, despite racing off the pace, and this return to her optimum polytrack trip should help her travel better and sustain the run. Colin Keane keeps the ride for a yard that does well at Dundalk. With proven course suitability and a profile of improvement at this distance, she has a clear chance of stepping forward to win tonight.

Caused a 50/1 upset over today's course and distance last week, but there didn't appear to be any fluke about the result. Looks poised to follow up off a six pounds higher mark, with his proficient apprentice jockey able to claim her full ten pounds allowance instead of last week's seven, negating half of that rise.

The best form is of the ancient variety, it must be said, but most of it came at this track. It is interesting to note that new connections have booked Wayne Lordan to ride. A sporting each-way play in the lucky last.

My each way selection for this race is TOMAHAWK KING, a strong finishing type whose previous C&D run is much better than the bare seventh after he dwelt at the start and met trouble in the straight behind some of these. He now lines up from a workable mark that does not fully reflect his earlier all weather figures and gets the same twelve furlong trip that clearly suits his late surge. A solid pace should bring his stamina and finishing kick into play, especially if he breaks more cleanly this time. With his form slightly disguised by that unlucky effort, he looks primed to outrun his likely price and makes plenty of appeal each way.
