Dundalk Race 1 - Happy Christmas From All At Dundalk Stadium Maiden (Div 1)
SAYONARA (5) delivered a big effort finishing 4.5L third over 1005m at this venue on debut. Selected to break his maiden at the second time of asking. THIS GUY (7) placed both starts since returning from a break including when missing by a narrow margin attempting a 1207m handicap here nine days ago. Warrants thought as expected to play a leading role. MINA BONITA (12) failed to shine finishing last of nine over 1005m at this course. Strong claims on form demonstrated earlier this year. MIDNIGHT DUSK (2) debuted with a 5L sixth tackling 1207m at this course. One to note with improvement likely.

Resumes from a spell after only one run when 11th of 17 at Naas on July 23 over 1207m, 12 len behind Red Earth with 60.5kg at $6. No surprise if he came back in a lot better shape this prep.

Previously second-up 4th in a small field at this track on April 11 over 1005m, 4.5 len behind Leblon Beach carrying 58kg at $15. Can do much better this time with the run under her belt.
