Dundalk Race 5 - Bet On The Best Night Out At Dundalk Stadium Nursery Hcp
Dark Angel filly LITTLEPACER (2) broke through for the first triumph of her career gaining an impressive 3.5L victory in a 1408m handicap at Gowran Park. Selected to follow up. Ten Sovereigns colt MUTAMARID LSK (6) recorded his best effort in four starts to date managing a 1.3L fourth contesting a track and trip event making his handicap debut. Leading contender. Top weight CLOSEFIELD BEAU (1) came home 1.5L fourth over course and distance providing his initial AW outing. Strong claims of breaking his maiden. Ardad filly SCARLET DREAM (4) faded when 5.3L seventh trying 1408m at this venue. Of note against this field.

At the latest run favourite; won by 3.5 len at Gowran Park on October 19 over 1408m defeating Stormy Dawn with 59.5kg at $2.30. The run before that 5th of 9 at this track on October 2 over 1408m, 2.5 len behind Snapequus with 51.5kg at $4.50. Looks hard to beat again.

Returns from a 37-day let-up. Last start ran last in a small field at Down Royal on September 28 over 1005m, 10 len behind Premier View with 61kg at $19. The start before that ran last of 15 at Naas on August 23 over 1207m, 28 len behind Timeless Tale carrying 58kg at $201. Unlikely to threaten these.

Before that ran second last of 19 at Curragh on August 9 over 1207m, 20 len behind Push The Boat Out with 60.5kg at $301. Nice effort last time. Great chance to atone.
