UK Horse Racing Tips: Dundalk

A C&D winner last November, REALTIN FANTASY has shaped up well with two placed effort on turf of late and is an attractive proposition back on Polytrack in this company. Eruption is closely matched with the selection based on their encounter at Down Royal in June and looks a key player on the revised terms, despite having yet to win on a synthetic surface. No Speed Limit and Hero Of The Hour are previous course winners with some each-way appeal.
Prediction : 1st Realtin Fantasy 2nd Eruption 3rd No Speed Limit

HARRY'S BAR showed much improved form when making his second start for the Jack W Davison yard and hitting the crossbar over 7f at Laytown last time. The nine-year-old is a four-time C&D winner and it would be no surprise to see him gain a 16th career victory. Valiant Force sets the standard with a rating of 101 but has failed to fire in his three starts for the Adrian Murray stable, while Betsen is another to keep an eye on.
Prediction : 1st Harrys Bar 2nd Valiant Force 3rd Betsen

Only worn down late on in a highly valuable sales contest at York's Ebor meeting, ARIZONA BLAZE is likely to be well suited to dropping back to 5f for the first time since finishing third in the Norfolk. Adrian Murray's charge can overcome a 5lb penalty for winning a Group 3 in May, with Revoke looking best placed to chase him home after an impressive debut success at Naas in August. British raider Sayidah Dariyan looked good when bounding clear at Lingfield last time out and is another to consider, along with recent C&D winner Powerful Nation.
Prediction : 1st Arizona Blaze 2nd Revoke 3rd Sayidah Dariyan

The penny seemed to drop with MIDNIGHT STAGGER at Down Royal last time. Beaten less than a length when caught by the winner in the closing stages, he will likely launch another serious challenge with an apprentice's 5lb claim further helping his cause. Katie Ross could only manage fourth behind the selection, though she wasn't beaten that far, and looks worthy of another try over today's distance. Zaraahmando was no match for the winner when runner-up at the same Down Royal fixture, but Bamako may prove more of a threat representing last year's winning trainer.
Prediction : 1st Midnight Stagger 2nd Katie Ross 3rd Bamako

Having posted a solid third over a mile in the Group 2 Champions Juvenile Stakes at Leopardstown last month, BERNARD SHAW makes plenty of appeal dropping into Listed company. The son of Into Mischief showed plenty of early speed on that occasion and a return to 7f holds no fear. The biggest threat may emerge from Comanche Brave, who justified strong support in the market when coasting home at Cork 23 days ago. Va Va Vroom and Beckman are unlikely to be far behind.
Prediction : 1st Bernard Shaw 2nd Comanche Brave 3rd Va Va Vroom

Having shaped with promise on both previous visits to this track, PRINCESS AUREA can get her head in front here. A staying-on third over a mile in July, she subsequently ran well in two turf maidens, before finishing mid-division on handicap debut back on the Polytrack last time. Although drawn widest, the Andrew Slattery-trained filly can come stands side into the straight to deliver her challenge. An Mhi Abu has yet to tackle this surface but has shown enough on five starts to suggest he can win races. Ordinarily a maiden might have been too steep for the Gavin Cromwell-trained gelding but this looks a weak contest. Recent course and distance runner-up Mags has work to do at these weights but has proven her ability to act around here.
Prediction : 1st Princess Aurea 2nd An Mhi Abu 3rd Mags

I AM SUPERMAN, who is one-from-one at this track, can maintain his unbeaten record. A winner here in December, the Michael O'Callaghan-trained eight-year-old followed up back on turf next time. Having run with credit in Group races and premier handicaps subsequently, the eight-year-old should find this easier. Malex was well supported when making a winning reappearance after a long absence at Tipperary last month. While there has to be a slight concern about him replicating that effort on his second run back, he would be a serious threat if doing so. Impressive Laytown winner Tough Talk is hard to assess on his first start on the Polytrack. Provided he acts on the surface, the Ger Lyons-trained four-year-old can play a leading role.
Prediction : 1st I Am Superman 2nd Malex 3rd Tough Talk
