Dundalk Race 4 - Bar 1 Betting 'First For Football' Apprentice Mdn
EMIZA (10) debuted with a promising 2.25L fifth competing in a large field 1609m maiden at Naas twelve days ago. Taken to break her maiden dropping in journey. TREK HOME (8) rates a major threat making his first start over this distance following a 2.75L third contesting a 1207m maiden at Cork last month. LITTLE SURE SHOT (12) returned from a break finishing 8.5L third tackling the trip at Fairyhouse. Strong prospects. Acclamation filly PUNICA GRANATUM (13) unseated her rider contesting a 1408m at Galway last month. Claims on form demonstrated when placing second at The Curragh three starts back.
