Dundalk Race 5 - Willie Buckley Memorial Maiden
ELANA OSARIO (5) finds a good opportunity. The Paddy Twomey trained filly sets a decent standard on official ratings and a replication of her runner-up spot over 2400m at the Curragh in October can suffice. Nine-start maiden MALLAVELLY (6) showed some fair form in England and looks the main danger adopting first-time hood and tongue-tie. COLUGO (4) finished second in a 1400m maiden here last month. Could give a good account revisiting 1600m. WINSOME (9) heads the remainder.

Jumped at very long odds at debut, ran last of 18 at Curragh on March 16 over 1609m, on a slow track; 31 len behind Dupont Law with 65.5kg at $126. Don't think he will trouble this field.

Four-year-old gelding (Iffraaj - Paint The Star) at the races for the first time. Jumps from a favourable gate but may need more time.
