My selection Stand Off didn't race on Thursday because the card at Clonmel was abandoned due to the track being frozen.
A slow week comes to an end on Friday with 8 races at Dundalk the main event is the 7.00 when 17 begin the Crowne Plaza Hotel Dundalk Handicap. Chateau Musar was a course and distance winner here in November where he only came home by a nose and he was a very good third when last seen also on this Dundalk course 21 days ago so he is definitely on the shortlist. Canning also had a good run at Dundalk in mid December where he was a good third and a slight drop in trip gives him an excellent chance here. Gormanston looks like a competitive horse who's last 6 runs have all been at Dundalk three second place finishes were followed up by a close victory 21 days ago and he will definitely go well again. The only other one with a good chance is Blackstone Cliff who returns to the track where he last won back in mid November he was also 5th when Chateau Musar won 46 days ago and he will run well.
Big race prediction: 7: Chateau Musar.
At the moment the meeting at Fairyhouse on Saturday is on but there is an inspection at noon on Friday to see if it goes ahead and I will let you know the outcome in tomorrow nights post.
