Harry Trotter’s turn has come

The Kodiac gelding will be having the seventh race of his life and this certainly represents his best opportunity to date.
He looked all over a winner for most of the straight on this track just before Christmas. Fergal Lynch drove him ahead a furlong and a half down, but it wasn’t to be and the selection was mugged by the late rush of Captain Joy and went under a neck.
Atticus Finch, who showed much improved form here last time when beaten by long odds-on stable companion, Muck’n Brass, is likely to carry them along and, hopefully, Harry Trotter will cut him down in the closing stages.
Eddie Lynam’s utterly frustrating Aragorn Rouge is given a final chance to deliver in the dundalkstadium.com Optional Claiming Maiden.
Lynam has tried a variety of distances with the four-year-old, but he always manages to find a way to avoid success.
A week ago, Aragorn Rouge could not reel in ill-fated Melodie D’Amour and was beaten a length and a quarter into second. It really is a case of now or never for him.
Andrew Oliver’s Mutasareb gets the nod in the ten furlongs plus bookings@dundalkstadium.com Handicap.
He was also in action here last week, batting on well to resist Imprudent Miss to the tune of half a length. This does not look a particularly strong contest and Mutasareb is fancied to make light of a 5lbs rise in the weights.
