Dundalk Race 2 - Floodlit Friday Nights At Dundalk Stadium Claiming Race
TYSON FURY (3) has only managed to place once the last six career starts. Disappointed on return to the flat when sixth in a 2100m race over course and distance a fortnight ago. Improvement expected. PERSIAN BLISS (2) disappointed when last of seven tackling track and trip running behind the top pick. Does hold winning form at this circuit and might reverse outcomes with the top choice. BENAVENTE (1) left behind four disappointing efforts to place second missing by a neck attempting 2400m. Might go one better. PERFECT JUDGEMENT (5) needs to show improvement after failing to place past five attempts.

Racing well recently. Most recently 2nd of 14 at this track on February 27 over 2414m, neck behind Daonethatgotaway carrying 60kg at $9. The run before that 4th of 10 at this track on February 20 over 2414m, 4.5 len behind Unterberg carrying 59kg at $11. Sure to be thereabouts.

At the latest run second last of 7 at this track on February 27 over 2112m, 8 len behind Gaucher carrying 60kg at $19. Before that second last of 12 at Leopardstown in the G1 Tattersalls Ireland Novice Hurdle on February 1 over 3218m, on a wet track; 34 len behind Talk The Talk carrying 75.5kg at $301. Finds a suitable contest this time so he can bounce back.
