On Thursday my selection Itsalonglongroad came 3rd. The 11/2 shot was prominent early on and led after the 4th however he made no impression after dropping to 2nd 2 out. He had no extra on the run-in losing a place in the closing stages, the race was won by the 7/1 chance Stansfield.
Another week ends with 8 races at Dundalk on Friday where the big contest is the final one of the night at 7.30 when 5 start the dundalkstadium.com Race. Harry's Bar didn't need to be at his best when winning over this course and distance 91 days ago,he beat Laugh A Minute by a neck that day and he gets the nod here. Speak In Colours is a smart horse who has picked up 7 wins from 23 flat runs in his career however he needs to bounce back after finishing 11th in the Champions Sprint Stakes at Ascot when last seen in mid October. The combination of being off for 111 days and making his polytrack debut still makes him a decent prospect. Alfredo Arcano loves Dundalk having won 5 times over this races 6 furlong distance in his career. His last run was a very respectable 3rd here two weeks ago and if he is allowed his own way at the front he could be dangerous.
Big race prediction: 2: Harry's Bar.
