Dundalk Race 4 - Book Online At Dundalkstadium.com Nursery Handicap
ONE COOL BEAR (4) missed by 0.5L placing second tackling 1200m at this circuit. Recorded a career best effort that day and is taken to go one better. BADGER'S COVE (9) met with trouble in running when placing third attempting a claiming contest over 1400m at Fairyhouse during September. Expected to play a leading role. SUP OF RED (6) recorded a sixth place finish competing in a 1200m event at Cork just over five weeks ago. Strong claims of breaking through for his first win. Racing in blinkers for the first time WICKLOW GAP (3) is another to consider following a fair ninth taking on a 1400m event at this venue last month.

The race before that 4th of 12 at Naas on September 18 over 1005m, on a slow track; 1.5 len behind Bay Of Supremacy with 61kg at $8. Best form stacks up nicely so worth another chance.
