Domestic can deliver in maiden

WE have to rely on the tried and trusted system of winner-finding at Galway and put our faith in Dermot Weld at the first stage of the Ballybrit extravaganza this evening.

The Rosewell House handler has farmed the GPT Access Equipment EBF Maiden for longer than he probably cares to remember at this stage and his Domestic Fund is burdened with the opening nap in this contest. In what has the makings of a very decent race, he is preferred to a pair of dangerous opponents in Lucifer Sam and Chun Tosaigh.

Domestic Fund had Galway written all over him following his debut at the Curragh a month ago. He finished a close fourth behind Lisvale and had Lucifer Sam three lengths behind in fifth.
