Dundalk Race 7 - Halloween Mid-Term Racing At Dundalk Hcp
CAMINO LAD (3) is progressing with each outing. Was a nose winner two starts back at Bellewstown before a good 0.5L second here last time. Remains unexposed and may do better again. Leading contender. COOLEY'S MIST (5) looks overdue another victory having placed past three races. Outstayed at Down Royal last time and will enjoy the drop in trip. Keep safe. SERENITY BLUE (2) provides first attempt for a new trainer with a good record at improving their runners. Fairly weighted and is expected to give a bold showing. DARK VIPER (1) can benefit for the application of a first time visor. Receives a handy apprentice weight allowance to negate the big weight and is easy to fancy.

Form hard to fault. Last start 2nd of 14 at this track on September 25 over 2112m, 0.5 len behind Quatre Bras carrying 60kg at $6. Before that won by a nose at Bellewstown on August 25 over 1609m defeating Karrygrant with 61kg at $5.50. Tough to beat.

Second-up. First-up after four months 5th of 10 at this track on September 18 over 2414m, 5.5 len behind Kilcrea Rock carrying 57kg at $34. Previously second-up ran second last of 8 at this track on January 30 over 2414m, 7 len behind Genoah with 54.5kg at $17. Might find this a bit too tough.
