Dundalk Race 5 - Michael And Esther Cooney Memorial Nursery Hcp
SNAPEQUUS (6) has yet to get seriously competitive in three starts to date. Racing for a top stable and could very much be underestimated from this lowly opening mark. Keep on side. LITTLEPACER (9) showed her first signs of ability when coming home 4.75L third at Sligo (1200m) eight weeks ago under this rider. Handily drawn and looks the chief threat. SCARLET DREAM (3) finished fifth on her first handicap outing over 1200m at Fairyhouse recently. Caught the eye on a couple of occasions. Needs this step up in trip to bring about more. SOMEDAY SOMEWHERE (2) is yet to kick on as hoped among open company. Outside chance at this level.
