Dundalk Race 5 - Put The Fun In Fundraising At Dundalk Maiden
DRUIDS GLEN (4) represents top connections in Aidan O'Brien and can improve. This Frankel colt is out of dual G1 winner Quiet Reflection. Yet to show his true potential however is up in trip to 2400m while cheekpieces can also unlock more progression. MENDEZ (5) outran huge odds when a 3.5L fourth in a maiden over 1600m here forty eight days ago. Step up in distance could help his chances. CHANGING LANES (3) looks the pick of the newcomers for Joseph O'Brien. The Galiway colt is out of a Listed-winning dam. BELL EX TOO (2) was a 17.5L sixth in a fierce Curragh maiden twenty six days ago. Warrants a market check.
