UK Horse Racing Tips: Dundalk

QUEENS FURY is certainly not short of experience and has been placed a number of times, including twice over this trip at Leopardstown. The Blue Point filly found Listed company a bit too hot here last month before only weakening in the closing stages on soft ground at Leopardstown last time. Mveve is the obvious threat as she progressed considerably from her debut at Cork last month to beat all bar newcomer Ethical Code over C&D. Highbury See See ran better than his finishing position would suggest on debut at Leopardstown and should improve with that run under his belt.
Prediction : 1st Queens Fury 2nd Mveve 3rd Highbury See See

FINSCEAL ANNIE won over this trip at Tipperary in August and has maintained her form well since over longer distances filling the runner-up spot three times. The Ciaran Murphy-trained filly was again prominent throughout when beating all bar Comfort Line over a mile here last time and should be suited by this drop back in trip. Golden Days has gained all four career wins over 7f including at Gowran this summer and shaped quite well after a sluggish start here last time. Velvet Skies was second to Marble Angel here on his penultimate start, while others to consider include The Cola Brasil and Liamo.
Prediction : 1st Finsceal Annie 2nd Golden Days 3rd Velvet Skies

SHAADEN justified strong support over C&D a fortnight ago and may follow up off a 7lb higher mark. The Pat Flynn-trained filly had Harry The Rogue back in fifth, with Aisling Oscar further behind, and Billy Lee again takes the mount. Cherry Pink has won twice this year, including on the beach at Laytown, and is certainly one for the shortlist after finishing fourth here last time in a race that has been working out well since. Chica Power likes to force the pace and has won three times over this C&D, while Hope And Innocence has been placed twice here over a mile, including behind Comfort Line earlier this month.
Prediction : 1st Shaaden 2nd Cherry Pink 3rd Chica Power

TOMARLO finished well here over 5f before opening his account over an extra furlong earlier this month and gets the vote to confirm places with Vanilla Baby, Undefeatable and Movin And Groovin. who were second, third and fourth respectively. The selection appeared to score with a bit in hand and a 5lb rise seems reasonable. That form ties in with the mile success of Sunriseontheboyne here last Friday where Movin And Groovin was a length and a half back in third. Annie Lavinia didn't enjoy a clear passage here on handicap debut last month, while there isn't much to choose between Roaming Eyes and Zuzzudio on running behind Mykonian Odyssey at Naas.
Prediction : 1st Tomarlo 2nd Movin And Groovin 3rd Sunriseontheboyne

BEATRIX POWER has been a frustrating sort to follow but may finally open her account. The selection seems equally effective over 5f and 6f and steps back up to this distance after twice being beaten at odds-on, including by the narrowest of margins here earlier this month. Lady Pagasa has been tried over a variety of trips and now drops back in distance after two outings over a mile since joining current connections. She is now fitted with cheekpieces and the booking of Colin Keane is significant, while Eyema Candy Girl is related to a number of sprint winners in Australia and any market move for the Justify filly would be interesting.
Prediction : 1st Beatrix Power 2nd Lady Pagasa 3rd Eyema Candy Girl

ZABEIR won a 7f maiden here over two years ago and looks capable of adding to that victory after dropping to a competitive mark. The Donal Kinsella-trained gelding has shown plenty of promise here on his latest two starts including when just denied by Skontonovski over a mile last month. The Michael O'Callaghan-trained duo of Darkdeserthighway and Rockbury Lad are others to consider, along with recent C&D winner Higher Kingdom and Shining Aitch. Speckled Meadow is generally a model of consistency and well suited by soft ground on turf, but didn't show the same level of form previously on this surface.
Prediction : 1st Zabeir 2nd Higher Kingdom 3rd Shining Aitch

GARDONE has done well since switched to the Polytrack this year and may add to a C&D win in August. The Eric McNamara-trained gelding has shaped well on both outings since and is closely matched with Gallo Dell Cielo on running behind Barretstown a fortnight ago. The World's Astage, Dancing Steve and Beauty Bella filled the first three places in a separate division of the aforementioned handicap here two weeks ago and that trio are all worthy of consideration. Tipperary winner Dancing Steve has built up a series of consistent efforts here, while Chopsticks and Marians Gal have also advertised their chances here recently.
Prediction : 1st Gardone 2nd Gallo Dell Cielo 3rd Dancing Steve

Willie McCreery saddles two contenders and riding arrangements suggest LILTIA is preferred. The daughter of Teofilo has been placed on three of her five outings this year, including when staying on well into second behind Sidiza over 1m2f at Navan. Expelliarmus also came home strongly over 1m2f at Navan last year before showing some promise over hurdles but now reappears after a lengthy absence, while stablemate Winsome steps up considerably in distance after being placed here last time. Pearl Jewel has been generally consistent this year including on the Polytrack, while Shaool had Santa Princess behind when showing some promise in a Curragh maiden over this trip.
Prediction : 1st Liltia 2nd Pearl Jewel 3rd Expelliarmus
