Dundalk Race 1 - Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden
REAL ENCOUNTER (10) was narrowly beaten second on seasonal return attempting a course maiden over 1200m in latest start. Showed plenty of speed across all outings and retreats to the minimum trip now. Strong chance. AUGHLISH (7) reached the placings on both starts at this track. Beaten 1.5L third one place behind the main selection. Could go close. NAMIID (5) is significantly more experienced after eight attempts. Been gelded since last campaign. Often delivers a solid race and no surprise if this is the day he breaks through. FALCON QUEEN (8) hasn't been far behind in two outings. Capable of improvement.
