Circumstances looks poised for a big run
The daughter of Galileo performed with distinct promise at Leopardstown in late October and it is surely significant David Wachman has decided to turn her out again so late in the year.
That particular Leopardstown contest was won by another inmate of Wachman’s, Eternal Bounty, with the selection finishing a creditable seventh of 17.
It looked a useful sort of race — the third Twirl has won in the meantime — and Circumstances should at least go close, from a favourable number two berth.
Johnny Murtagh is a positive booking for Ultra Cool and the four-year-old gets the vote in the Group Bookings At Dundalk Rated Race.
She went off an unconsidered 28-1 shot on this track last time, but belied those odds with a cracking effort to finish a head second behind Maggie Neary in a competitive handicap.
The aforementioned Maggie Neary, up 12lbs for two successes here of late, can complete the hat-trick in the www.dundalkstadium.com Handicap.
Mountain Coral, who finished to good effect at the end of six furlongs when scoring by three parts of a length at Dundalk a week ago, can shrug off an extra 5lbs in the opening www.dundalkstadium.com Handicap.
Noel Meade’s Fountain Of Honour, who struck form here two weeks ago when beating in-form Ashton Rose by half a length, is fancied to provide the answer to the bookings@dundalkstadium.com Rated Race.
