Dundalk Race 8 - Christmas Party Nights At Dundalk Hcp

FIXATION (2) holds strong form claims judging on a 5L ninth at The Curragh tackling a better race than this last time. Yard is going well and he is drawn nicely. Expected to take beating. QUATRE BRAS (5) stayed on for a 0.5L success at this track last time. Enjoys the venue and receives a handy apprentice weight allowance. Expected to give another bold showing. TOUCH THE MOON (3) impressed winning at this circuit two starts ago. Came up short attempting a valuable contest in England since. Expected to bounce back. POETIC SOUND (1) is a high class performer at best. Lost his way recently however remains a threat to all against this small field.
