Dundalk Race 2 - Irishinjuredjockeys.com Handicap
PLUSHY (3) drops to the minimum distance for the first time this campaign. Solid efforts last two outings finishing 1.75L from the winner on each occasion having made most of the running. Capable of breaking through. STONE BEAR (1) scored on two of the last three starts under this rider. Moves up in the ratings as a result. May have more to offer tackling the trip. BABY BASMA (2) was successful on her debut at Cork a year ago over 1000m. Entitled to have needed the run on return here last month. Can contend. SUBIACO (5) won over course and distance in January. No show on turf in latest. Return to this venue will favour.

He is resuming after a six-and-a-half months break. Not seen since he finished last of 13 at Curragh October 4 over 1408m, 27 len behind Causeway carrying 59.5kg at $251. On debut ninth of 12 at Naas September 18 over 1207m, 15 len behind Roaring Fire carrying 59.5kg at $15. Hasn't shown much in short career to date and is hard to have.
