Dundalk Race 5 - BAR 1 Betting Grand National Extra Places Maiden
COUNTY CARLOW (3) proved very popular on debut contesting a 1400m event three weeks ago when keen and green before finishing second beaten just 1.75L. Could take a big step forward and looks hard to fault. GRAND PREMIERE (6) ran with considerable promise debuting over course and distance during November. Will learn plenty from that run and rates a major player. KALIR (7) was not disgraced in two turf maidens last season and has a future this season. One to consider making all-weather debut. SCIENTIFIC (9) debuted well in a point. Could be in need of the experience. More expected under Ryan Moore.

By Zoustar out of La Foglietta on debut. Purchased for GNS 16,000 (Tattersalls 2023 December Foal Sale). Prefer to just watch barring a strong market move.
