ZALTY LOOKS A DUN DEAL

Before today's racing at Dundalk is previewed, I just wanted to congratulate EURO CHARLINE for her win at Arlington in the Beverly D Stakes yesterday. She was a filly that I have followed since her demolition job in a Class 4 Handicap at Wolverhampton at March and after putting in solid performances in the best three year old fillies' races, it was nice to see her achieve her just rewards. I knew she was smart when I saw her at Dunstall Park that day but I never really thought she would in a race of this class. I am immensely proud of her, well done to all of her connections!

As for today's racing, Dundalk host some decent races on their all weather surface where ZALTY (3:40) would appear to have a big chance. He's ran solid races this year including a respectable fourth behind Muthmir in a competitive York handicap. He could still be nicely treated so he should run a good race.

In the maiden races, the expensive GENERALL MARSHALL (3:10) will like the surface being by American sire War Front and providing he improves on his first run, could give the incredibly short Toscanini a good race whilst FOOLISH WAYS (4:15) could give Ballydoyle's Qualify a worry if she improves on her first run.

And finally, THE BIG CAT (5:45) is an unexposed type who hopefully has a lot of improvement to come. Panama Hat is obviously the biggest danger but the handicapper has done him no favours whatsoever, he has to give The Big Cat 17 pounds. Running on a synthetic surface after his last few runs being on turf may not help him either.


Enjoy Your Sunday

Happy Punting!
