Dundalk Race 6 - Irish Ebf Median Sires Series Mdn (Smullen Series)
ASTROWAY (6) made his debut at Naas over 1609m last time finishing fifth beaten 5L. Should take a step forward now race fit. BATTLE READY (7) stayed on well to claim third tackling 1609m at Thurles latest. Finishes his races strongly and looks a serious contender. MIGHT JUST BE (9) makes his first appearance for Donnacha O'Brien who does well with these types. The two-year-old is by Lucky Vega out of Boyne River. Any market support would be worth noting. THE CAPTAINS DAY (2) finished sixth trying 1609m at Punchestown beaten 9L. Finds a suitable opportunity to get back on track. Genuine place claims.

Recent form sound. Last start 3rd of 14 at Thurles on October 8 over 1609m, 1.5 len behind King Christoph with 58.5kg at $21. The run before that ran second last in a small field at Galway on September 8 over 1609m, slow going 15 len behind Leadlight carrying 60.5kg at $13. Close to a maiden win and gets his chance.
