Dundalk Race 5 - View Restaurant At Dundalk Stadium Median Auction Mdn
MARCESCENCE (11) made the frame both outings against big fields over 1200m at Navan. Latterly beaten 1.25L third a month ago. Bold claims of going a couple better this time receiving a handy draw. SONIC SABIHA (14) brings plenty of previous experience. Denied by just a neck in a course and distance maiden on penultimate start. Could only manage fifth since but should make her presence felt. DIRECT ACTION (6) finished 6L fourth at Navan (1200m) latest. Was beginning to get the hang of things on that occasion and rates one of the main hopes. SAKE NIGHTS (8) missed the break first up here (1400m) emerging 6L sixth. Big step forward possible.
