UK Horse Racing Tips: Dundalk

MY GIRL SIOUX has filled the runner-up spot on her latest two starts over C&D and had No Speed Limit close behind in third, Crystal Luna fourth with Beano Power and Sam's Xpress further behind when beating all bar Sporting Hero last month. The winner has boosted the form by scoring again since and the selection can add to a 5f victory here last November. The front-running No Speed Limit has been kept busy with three outings since including when beaten about a length at Newcastle last Friday, while Eric Lock is probably best at this trip and has dropped down to a competitive mark.
Prediction : 1st My Girl Sioux 2nd No Speed Limit 3rd Eric Lock

HIGHTIMEYOUWON takes a step into the unknown over this trip but is very well treated at the weights. The Stephen Thorne-trained gelding has been in good form this year winning twice, the latest when beating Comfort Line by just over a length in a mile claimer, and he now meets that rival on considerably better terms. The dual-purpose Darkened comes here in good form having recorded a seventh career win with an easy C&D success last month, with the hat-trick seeking Signor Ferrari over eight lengths adrift. Cousin Shay has progressed well since joining Natalia Lupini last autumn winning three times at this venue.
Prediction : 1st Hightimeyouwon 2nd Darkened 3rd Cousin Shay

DOCTOR GRACE has gained two of her three career wins at this venue and is slipping down the ratings to a competitive mark. She has lost ground at the start on both outings since joining Ado McGuinness this year but has still shaped quite well and had both Latin and Spirit Of Paradise behind when fourth to Tara Power last time. Guest Star opened his account over C&D last time in a claimer for Mark Fahey, while any market move for top-weight Metamorpheus would be interesting. There isn't much to choose between Hope And Innocence and Saxon Kingdom on running behind Little Keilee over a mile here last month but both are unlikely to appreciate this longer trip.
Prediction : 1st Doctor Grace 2nd Guest Star 3rd Metamorpheus

THEOPHILOS won over 1m1f for Johnny Murtagh and was campaigned over hurdles after joining Gerry Keane last summer until placed on both outings here this year. The selection was only just touched off by Sir Callisto over C&D last month with Pavilion End nearly three lengths back in fourth. Gracesolution made a promising return to the Polytrack when third to Koniag over 1m4f in January and any progress from that run would see her go close, while Pearl Jewel won a maiden over C&D on her penultimate start and may have found two miles just a shade too far last time.
Prediction : 1st Theophilos 2nd Gracesolution 3rd Pearl Jewel

PUNK POET has dropped down to an attractive mark and gave encouragement over 7f here last month that he can add to five C&D wins. The Eddie Lynam-trained gelding was never a threat on that latest start but did put in some good work at the finish to be placed and will appreciate the step back up to a mile. Daonethatgotaway is on a hat-trick after two wins here over a mile and remains in this grade despite a combined rise of 11lb for those victories while Pink Oxalis, Altimara and Rockbury Lad are others to consider. The latter always comes from off the pace and went close on his penultimate start over a mile.
Prediction : 1st Punk Poet 2nd Daonethatgotaway 3rd Rockbury Lad

SUNRISEONTHEBOYNE beat Your Call by half a length over C&D last November and now meets that rival on slightly better terms. The Mick Mulvany-trained gelding hasn't been disgraced on both outings since over 7f and will appreciate the step back up to a mile. The form of Your Call's subsequent course win, with Esque Elegance back in fourth, has worked out well since while Amber Blossom also won here over 7f as a juvenile. Johnny Murtagh's charge ran a cracker when runner-up to Lost President over a mile last time and probably rates the chief threat.
Prediction : 1st Sunriseontheboyne 2nd Amber Blossom 3rd Your Call

ARIZONA BLAZE was a high-class juvenile, and the talented sprinter should be able to make a winning reappearance. The son of Sergei Prokofiev won twice last year including the Group 3 Marble Hill Stakes at the Curragh and was also placed on two occasions in Group 1's including when runner-up in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint at Del Mar. Tipperary maiden winner Sir Yoshi ran his best race when third in the Listed Roses Stakes at York, while Songhai made a winning debut over C&D last month and looks a nice prospect. Dark Ace has improved since switched to this surface while Beauty Queen won twice for Kevin Ryan last year.
Prediction : 1st Arizona Blaze 2nd Sir Yoshi 3rd Songhai

DAAMBERDIPLOMAT has gained all four of his career wins over 6f with three of them coming at this track including last time when just getting the better of Mehman by a nose. The form of that race has been very well advertised since and the selection, who also beat Harry's Bar and Dontspoilasale back in November, meets Mehman on 9lb better terms. The latter got a hefty hike for a decisive win also over C&D, while Never Shout Never has progressed well since switched here this winter. The Stephen Thorne-trained gelding has shown plenty of pace including when successful over 5f but has also gone close over this trip.
Prediction : 1st Daamberdiplomat 2nd Mehman 3rd Never Shout Never
