Stick with Saighdiur
Andy Slattery’s charge won here a week ago and appears in good shape right now. That contest was over six furlongs, he has run over much further in the past, and the son of Acclamation travelled like a dream throughout.
In the end, however, he was flat to the boards to hold the late rush of Tsar Paul, the verdict a head. Tsar Paul re-opposes on marginally better terms, but the selection is taken to confirm the placings, dropping down to the minimum trip.
Eddie Lynam’s Aragorn Rouge gets the nod in the Group Bookings At Dundalk Rated Race. The four-year-old finally hit the net when scoring here last month and, now that he realises where the winning post is, can go in again.
Jim Bolger’s Gort Na Mona is the one to beat in the bookings@dundalkstadium.com Maiden. She produced her best effort to date when chasing home Prince Of Fire at Dundalk and this represents an easier assignment.
Michael Halford’s Danick Of Time can take the horseware.com Apprentice Maiden, having finished second to Aragorn Rouge on this track last time.
