Dundalk Race 4:50 Irish Stallion Farms EBF Race

TimeWise Master Top Two Rated Horses:

1. Bear On The Run (IRE): Total rating of 318.
2. By The Lake (IRE): Total rating of 316.

Bear On The Run (IRE)

• Recent Form & Comments: This two-year-old has “shown plenty of natural speed in her six furlong success here last month”.
• Chances in Today’s Race: Bear On The Run is considered a strong contender, potentially “hard to catch from stall two” due to her natural speed. Her main strength is her proven speed and recent winning form at Dundalk. No explicit weaknesses are mentioned, and she is suitable for the 5f trip on Standard AW conditions.

By The Lake (IRE)

• Recent Form & Comments: This two-year-old filly was a “5f winner at Naas on debut” but her form from that race “didn’t really work out”. She “shaped like she may appreciate a drop back in trip” when finishing “sixth of 16” in a sales race at the Curragh recently. The Spotlight notes she “ran with credit in a deep race at the Curragh last weekend”.
• Chances in Today’s Race: By The Lake is “respected now switched to AW” and may benefit from the drop to the minimum trip. Her strengths include a debut win and a creditable recent performance in a strong race. Her main weakness is that her debut form has not been strongly franked. She is suitable for 5f on Standard AW, especially if the shorter trip proves beneficial.

Spotlight Verdict: “Several nice prospects in the opener with a chance taken on BEAR ON THE RUN who could be hard to catch from stall two having shown plenty of natural speed in her six furlong success here last month. By The Lake ran with credit in a deep race at the Curragh last weekend and may also be suited by a drop to the minimum. Ballydoyle’s First Approach went close at Listed level earlier in the campaign and would be a big threat if he returned to that level of form”.

Dundalk Race 5:25 Irish Stallion Farms EBF Median Auction Maiden

TimeWise Master Top Two Rated Horses:

1. Dancing Saxon (IRE): Total rating of 280.
2. Coincidental Glory (IRE): Total rating of 268.

Dancing Saxon (IRE)

• Recent Form & Comments: This two-year-old was “sent off favourite when down the field in a Leopardstown maiden (7f, soft) on debut” but “showed more when third in a 6f Fairyhouse maiden”. His “Ballyhane run can be forgiven (drawn wrong side) and remains with potential”.
• Chances in Today’s Race: Dancing Saxon “remains with potential” and is expected to build on his improved second start. His strength is his demonstrated improvement and underlying potential. A perceived weakness was a poor debut, though this is attributed to the draw. He is suitable for 6f on Standard AW, given his Fairyhouse performance.

Coincidental Glory (IRE)

• Recent Form & Comments: This two-year-old “came on from debut when finishing just half a length third in a Sligo maiden” but “hasn’t kicked on twice since” and “needs improvement”.
• Chances in Today’s Race: Coincidental Glory has shown some early promise but needs a significant step up in form. His strength is an encouraging third-place finish on his second start. His main weakness is a lack of subsequent progression and the explicit comment that he “needs improvement”. He is suitable for 6f on Standard AW, but requires a career best performance.

Spotlight Verdict: “There was plenty to like about REAL ENCOUNTER‘s debut when showing up well for a long way and the yard’s juveniles often take a sizeable step forward from their initial outings. Stella Amorosa improved to finish in the mix in a Curragh maiden last time while Strait And Narrow is another to consider after a promising effort in a barrier trial”.

TimeWise Master Top Two Rated Horses:

1. Imperial Dream (IRE): Total rating of 259.
2. Send Harry (IRE): Total rating of 259.

Imperial Dream (IRE)

• Recent Form & Comments: This five-year-old showed “some decent turf form last year, winning at the Curragh off 74”. She had a “quiet campaign this year, most recently midfield at same venue last month”. She “drops in grade here so respected from a good draw”.
• Chances in Today’s Race: Imperial Dream is a “respected” contender, especially with the drop in grade and a favourable draw. Her strengths include proven winning form and class reduction. Her main weakness is a relatively quiet and inconsistent campaign this year. She is suitable for 7f on Standard AW.

Send Harry (IRE)

• Recent Form & Comments: This three-year-old has been described as a “model of consistency on the turf during the summer”.
• Chances in Today’s Race: Send Harry is highly regarded in the Spotlight, getting the vote due to his “consistency on the turf” and his “AW return”. His strength is his proven consistency. No specific weaknesses are detailed in the provided sources, suggesting he is generally reliable. He is suitable for 7f on Standard AW conditions.

Spotlight Verdict: “A model of consistency on the turf during the summer, SEND HARRY has plenty going for him on his AW return and gets the vote over Tofino, with top-weight Imperial Dream and British recruit Bint Elnadim Star interesting players”.

Dundalk Race 6:30 Bar One Better On Football Handicap (0-60)

TimeWise Master Top Two Rated Horses:

1. Nammos: Total rating of 255.
2. Amanirenas (IRE): Total rating of 247.

Nammos

• Recent Form & Comments: This five-year-old has “two AW wins over 7f” for a previous trainer and has “shaped well in two 6f Curragh handicaps since joining this stable”. He “drops in grade on AW return so respected”.
• Chances in Today’s Race: Nammos is “respected” for his AW return, benefiting from a drop in grade. His strengths are his previous AW wins and good recent turf form. No explicit weaknesses are mentioned. He is suitable for 1m on Standard AW, with his previous 7f AW wins suggesting he can handle the surface.

Amanirenas (IRE)

• Recent Form & Comments: This six-year-old “was gaining sixth career win when just holding on in 6f Laytown handicap early this month, a welcome return to form”. However, she “remains unproven over this far though”.
• Chances in Today’s Race: Amanirenas comes into the race on the back of a “welcome return to form” with a recent win. Her main strength is her recent winning form. Her primary weakness is her unproven stamina over the 1m trip. She is suitable for 1m on Standard AW, but the distance is a significant query.

Spotlight Verdict: “Plenty with chances, notably Sierra De Gredos, Akashaa, Punk Poet and the still unexposed Pause For Peace, but perhaps recent Bellewstown winner SAYFA FAD could have still more to offer, despite the wide draw”.

Dundalk Race 7:00 Enjoy Racing TV With A Free Trial Now Apprentice Handicap

TimeWise Master Top Two Rated Horses:

1. El Bello: Total rating of 278.
2. Frank Pickle (IRE): Total rating of 271.

El Bello

• Recent Form & Comments: This six-year-old has “all wins on the AW over 7f” but achieved a “breakthrough turf win last month over this trip at Tipperary, coming off the pace under today’s rider”. He is “5lb higher now and rider’s claim reduced but remains unexposed at this trip”.
• Chances in Today’s Race: El Bello is a strong contender, with the Spotlight noting that his recent turf win “suggests there could be more to come” on his return to AW. His strengths are his proven AW form over shorter distances and a recent turf win over this trip, indicating unexposed potential at 1m4f. His weaknesses include a 5lb higher mark and a reduced rider’s claim. He is suitable for 1m4f on Standard AW.

Frank Pickle (IRE)

• Recent Form & Comments: This four-year-old is “lightly raced” and “went closest on latest of five turf runs, only collared close home over this trip at the Curragh last month”. He had been “clear for much of way” in that race.
• Chances in Today’s Race: Frank Pickle is “interesting if he can transfer that form to AW”. His strength is his recent strong performance over this trip on turf. His weaknesses are that he is unproven on AW and faces a “wide draw not ideal” for his debut on the surface. He is suitable for 1m4f, but needs to prove himself on the AW.

Spotlight Verdict: “Nicola Burns got a fair tune out of EL BELLO when tried over this trip at Tipperary recently which suggests there could be more to come on the return to this surface, having won here three times before over much shorter trips. Gracesolution, Frank Pickle and Pearl Jewel appear likely dangers”.

Dundalk Race 7:30 Irishinjuredjockeys.com Handicap (Div 1) (0-60)

TimeWise Master Top Two Rated Horses:

1. Hasten Slowly (IRE): Total rating of 259.
2. Thegooseiscooked (IRE): Total rating of 245.

Hasten Slowly (IRE)

• Recent Form & Comments: This five-year-old is a “C&D winner who won over timber on her latest outing”. She “looks on a good mark back in this sphere, although probably more effective over a bit further these days”.
• Chances in Today’s Race: Hasten Slowly is a strong contender due to her proven course and distance form and recent timber win. Her strengths are her C&D winning experience and a seemingly favourable mark. A potential weakness is that she may now be “more effective over a bit further”. She is suitable for 1m2½f on Standard AW.

Thegooseiscooked (IRE)

• Recent Form & Comments: This eight-year-old was a “runner-up (promoted from third) over C&D last month” but his “form knocked since”. He is “still lightly-raced and first-time cheekpieces may help”.
• Chances in Today’s Race: Thegooseiscooked has a chance based on his recent C&D form, and the addition of “first-time cheekpieces may help”. His strength is his good course and distance performance. His main weakness is that his form has “knocked” since. He is suitable for 1m2½f on Standard AW.

Spotlight Verdict: “This looks like the weaker of the two divisions and possibly a good chance for EXPLORERS WAY to get his head back in front. He was fairly prolific on all-weather in Britain and looks well treated having hinted at a revival at Navan last time. Last time out winner Harseva will be a threat if she’s as good back on all-weather but Cala Bonita could be the main danger with a less exposed profile than most and she ran creditably over course and distance last time”.

Dundalk Race 8:00 Irishinjuredjockeys.com Handicap (Div 2) (0-60)

TimeWise Master Top Two Rated Horses:

1. Galician Girl (IRE): Total rating of 227.
2. Ohmali (IRE): Total rating of 222.

Galician Girl (IRE)

• Recent Form & Comments: This four-year-old is a “Course winner who got her head back in front at Ayr last month”. She is “10lb higher but still below her winning mark here from last year and the form of her Ayr success has been boosted by winner going in again since”.
• Chances in Today’s Race: Galician Girl is the “nap” of the Spotlight Verdict and is taken to “defy a rise in the weights” due to her “major return to form” and strong course record. Her strengths are her excellent recent winning form, boosted form, and strong preference for this track. Her only mentioned weakness is a 10lb higher mark. She is highly suitable for 1m2½f on Standard AW.

Ohmali (IRE)

• Recent Form & Comments: This three-year-old is a “nine-race maiden” but has shown “signs this mark may be workable in his most recent starts”.
• Chances in Today’s Race: Ohmali is seen as having potential for his mark to be workable. His strength lies in recent runs suggesting he is becoming more competitive. His primary weakness is his maiden status. He is suitable for 1m2½f on Standard AW, but needs to convert potential into a win.

Spotlight Verdict: “It was a major return to form from GALICIAN GIRL (nap) at Ayr last month when getting the better of a subsequent winner and with several of her better runs coming here, she’s taken to defy a rise in the weights. Arrumba should appreciate the step back up in trip now handicapping and Tara Power hinted at a return to form here last time out”.

Dundalk Race 8:30 Celebrate Your Special Occasion At Dundalk Stadium Maiden

TimeWise Master Top Two Rated Horses:

1. Morethan Ambitions (USA): Total rating of 153.
2. El Galvino: Total rating of 150.

Morethan Ambitions (USA)

• Recent Form & Comments: This three-year-old was “soundly beaten twice in July maidens for Patrick Hayes yard” and is advised to be “best watched for now”.
• Chances in Today’s Race: Morethan Ambitions is not expected to be a major factor. Her main weakness is her very poor recent form. No explicit strengths are mentioned. She is suitable for 1m2½f on Standard AW in terms of distance, but her current form makes her unlikely to contend.

El Galvino

• Recent Form & Comments: This four-year-old was “tailed off in Killarney bumper in May and never sighted after slow start in Tramore Flat maiden two months later”.
• Chances in Today’s Race: El Galvino’s recent performances indicate he is not in winning form. His significant weakness is his consistently poor recent runs. No explicit strengths are noted. He is suitable for 1m2½f on Standard AW, but his form is a major concern.

Spotlight Verdict: “A late-season maiden in which the Ballydoyle newcomer EDWARD HAMILTON is unlikely to need to be too much out of the ordinary to make a winning belated debut. Of those with form, Ben Lawers, Marmeladova, Lady McC and the Aga Khan-owned pair Hamadhan and Kasgani look the most likely”.
