UK Horse Racing Tips: Dundalk

A chance is taken on PROFIT CENTRE, who runs in first-time blinkers on his Dundalk debut, as he showed form this summer and has been gelded since his last run. Out of a useful winning mare, he displayed some promise in maidens and, notably, at the Curragh in August finished ahead of Enthusiastically, who he now meets on 9lb better terms. Enthusiastically has admittedly shown improved form since then and scored over C&D earlier this month. Manifest Destiny ran well over a mile here a fortnight ago.
Prediction : 1st Profit Centre 2nd Enthusiastically 3rd Manifest Destiny

The well-bred CARMINA BURANA showed improvement on a recent C&D run and is a hopeful pick. Out of a sister to Group 1 winner Emulous, the dam of Arc winner Bluestocking, her form is largely poor but she showed a little more on her second all-weather start. She met trouble and finished behind Masked Angel, but is considerably better off at the weights and might progress some more. Masked Angel sports first-time blinkers, while Steel Magnolia tries this surface for just the second time and has useful soft-ground turf form.
Prediction : 1st Carmina Burana 2nd Masked Angel 3rd Steel Magnolia

BEIJINHO hasn't raced since August but is proven over C&D. From a good American family, she showed ability on debut and confirmed that promise with another useful effort. That latest form has worked out nicely, with both the winner and third scoring subsequently. Indigo Dream disappointed somewhat on her most recent run in May, finishing behind Angelight, with both fillies possessing some soft-ground form and now return following breaks. Yutori showed improvement on her third start recently and can step forward again.
Prediction : 1st Beijinho 2nd Indigo Dream 3rd Angelight

GLEN AND TONIC has run well in two recent course handicaps and contests a winnable maiden. She initially showed some promise in smart maidens and while she has been beaten twice at this venue, she has competed well on both occasions and is a dependable type. Innumerable finished behind the selection here 16 days ago, but is better than that showing as her saddle slipped forward. Daring Grace started at big odds on her introduction in a useful maiden last month, but ran satisfactorily and should get involved.
Prediction : 1st Glen And Tonic 2nd Innumerable 3rd Daring Grace

MR KOBE ran well here last time and may be able to score. The Bungle Inthejungle gelding led early in the straight over C&D before eventually finishing fourth to Friendly Invoice. A similar effort may be enough to land a moderate affair. Mini Cotai stayed on to finish fifth at a big price here a week ago over the minimum trip. Going back up to six should suit and she could play a bigger role. Femme Beauty had some decent form on turf during the summer and may appreciate dropping back in trip having been well held here a fortnight ago.
Prediction : 1st Mr Kobe 2nd Mini Cotai 3rd Femme Beauty

COLLECTIVE POWER has run well to be placed in a couple of competitive sprint handicaps here on his last two visits and may be able to defy top weight now down slightly in grade. The Slade Power gelding is a three-time C&D winner and has slipped to an attractive rating. Sorcha Woods eases his burden with her 7lb claim. Nikki Swango comes here in fine form and bids for a hat-trick. Her recent wins have come over 7f, though. Rappell, a winner here in September, stayed on well to finish fourth off his revised mark a fortnight ago and is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Collective Power 2nd Nikki Swango 3rd Rappell

Joseph O'Brien does well with fillies picked up from abroad and CORNELIENNE is an interesting runner. The daughter of Golden Horn was a 250,000-euro purchase last December having been narrowly denied in a Listed event at Fontainebleau the previous month. A mark of 94 could be lenient in handicap company. Smart hurdler Gaucher is another fascinating contender. The Frankel gelding won twice on the level in France before joining Willie Mullins, although this trip is a bit of an unknown. Gentleman Joe won an amateurs' contest during the summer and is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Cornelienne 2nd Gaucher 3rd Gentleman Joe

The well-bred CANDIDLY ran a big race here last time and looks capable of taking one of these off this kind of mark. She kicked a couple of lengths clear turning for home but was collared in the closing stages, losing out by just a neck and a head when third to Porsche Lad. Cherry Pink won over C&D last week and could play a big role again after just a 4lb rise. Tribal Moon steps up in trip on his first start for new connections after two solid placed efforts here last month. He's another for the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Candidly 2nd Cherry Pink 3rd Tribal Moon
