UK Horse Racing Tips: Dundalk

APIARY has been running well and contests an ordinary claimer. She is no star and is rated 64, but she seems a dependable sort and can confirm last month's superiority over Princess Sioux, despite being 10lb worse off. Pliny would have strong claims if returning to some of his juvenile form and although well held here back in the autumn, he might be better suited by reverting to this distance. Kactus Jack debuts for new connections, having been bought for 7,000gns last October.
Prediction : 1st Apiary 2nd Pliny 3rd Kactus Jack

NOTFORALONGTIME relishes an all-weather surface and has been running well this winter. Successful at a mile here in November, the 10-time winner is equally effective at this distance and although often a slow starter, he is generally dependable. Battle Borne won a course maiden last month and although he has been raised 18lb since being well beaten in a handicap here in January, he seems to have found his niche at this distance. Nikki Swango is on her second stint with Ado McGuinness but while she has done very well recently, she competes from a near-career-high rating.
Prediction : 1st Notforalongtime 2nd Battle Borne 3rd Nikki Swango

GO OUT has been running well and reverts to 6f, a distance over which he finished a close second in a similar handicap here in January. He is well suited by this surface and while a six-race maiden, he is consistent and is open to further progression. Masked Angel defeated Hasiyna to win here last month and with Hasiyna meeting some trouble in-running two days later, both have solid claims. Ohailbhic's sole win came over this C&D and he was well supported when finishing third here recently.
Prediction : 1st Go Out 2nd Masked Angel 3rd Hasiyna

DRUCKER tries this distance for the first time, but he can continue to progress. His initial success came over an extended 1m2f at this venue last April and he bounced back to form with an easy triumph last month. He goes very well on this surface and although the extra yardage is an unknown, he won going away over 1m4f. Minella Mate is well suited by the distance and even though he has enough weight under his 7lb claimer, he has good recent form. Satono Chevalier, who chased home the selection in February, was beaten subsequently and now also tries 2m for the first time.
Prediction : 1st Drucker 2nd Minella Mate 3rd Satono Chevalier

SYOSSET had two runs within a week at this track in November, which yielded a win and a third place, and he has been freshened up since. He drifted left in the final furlong and was collared close home the last day, so the first-time hood could benefit him. He's well drawn if prominent tactics are adopted again. Deluca Chop is getting closer to doubling his career all-weather total having finished third and second in his last couple of appearances over C&D. Without Love is in a good place at present, while Doctor Grace has the ability to get involved, although her form is in and out.
Prediction : 1st Syosset 2nd Deluca Chop 3rd Without Love

SON OF BEAUTY is taken to progress from a promising third on debut over 7f in January. He was three-quarters of a length behind the front two, who were rated 80 and 78 going into that maiden, and the extra furlong should suit considering how he finished. Jojo's Legacy enters the fray with a mark of 80 after three turf runs. She is a half-sister to a filly who won twice at Listed level in Italy so has to be of interest on her Polytrack bow. Mooncoin is related to a couple of multiple winners and could be sharp enough to make an impact. Star Of Beauty and Caitouna are others who could get involved.
Prediction : 1st Son Of Beauty 2nd Jojos Legacy 3rd Mooncoin

BELLA COLOMBIA hasn't been running badly in higher grades and has a chance back in 0-60 company. The last time she ran at this level, she travelled well on her way to finishing second and is now 1lb lower in the weights. Alex Belardo wouldn't be winning out of turn and has come home third in his last two races over 7f at this track. He has form over this trip, particularly when a close third back in October. Distillate is likely to be popular on the back of a neck second over 7f, although her six career victories have been over shorter. Desert Of The Sea is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Bella Colombia 2nd Alex Belardo 3rd Distillate

This is a drop in class for CALIFORNIA DREAMER and she is advantaged by the weights. She was good enough to finish runner-up in last season's Irish 1,000 Guineas and showed an aptitude for this surface when winning her maiden by more than five lengths here a bit over a year ago. Tokenomics has the same official rating as California Dreamer, but has to give her 5lb. He has a good record in Dundalk, where he was last seen winning a quality handicap in November. Instant Appeal rang up a hat-trick at this track between November and December and rarely runs a bad race.
Prediction : 1st California Dreamer 2nd Tokenomics 3rd Instant Appeal
