Catchy Lass poised to strike again
Anthony Mulholland’s mare looked much improved on this track four weeks ago and is very much fancied to strike again.
Partnered by Colin Keane, she quickened in fine style in the straight to beat Ebadani and the subsequent winner, Rocky Bleier.
Keane, a 3lbs claimer, is now replaced aboard Catchy Lass by another talented apprentice, Conor King, who claims 5lbs, and the five-year-old can defy an 8lbs rise in the weights.
Aidan O’Brien’s Belisarius may possibly have his own ideas about the game, but has to get the nod in the Louth Land Of Legends Race Day 16th May At Dundalk Stadium Maiden.
He hit the bar on a couple of occasions last season and made a satisfactory reappearance at the Curragh 33 days ago when fourth behind the Jim Bolger trained Answered.
Only three are set to face the starter in the Irish Stallion Farms’ EBF Fillies Race, but they all have a life and it’s tricky.
The nod falls on Dermot Weld’s Tahaany, who sloshed his way through heavy ground at Cork last time to give the modest Tirghra 13lbs and half a length beating.
Kevin Prendergast’s twice-raced Taaluf is preferred in the Easter Mid-Term Madness at Dundalk Stadium Median Auction Maiden.
She was fourth at the Curragh and then fifth behind the impressive John Oxx-trained Stars So Bright at Dundalk and wasn’t knocked about either time.
