7/1/22 Dundalk

 My pick on Thursday Classic Getaway finished 2nd. The 5/6 favourite who cost a record £570,000 at auction in December was 2nd early and led at the 6th. He was passed 2 out and made no impression on the run-in. The race went to his stablemate Cash Back who easily came home by 6 lengths. 

 We round off the week with 8 races at Dundalk on Friday where the highlight is the 6.15 when 17 line-up for the Follow Us On Twitter @DundalkStadium Maiden. Chicago Lightening made a promising debut when 3rd on this course 42 days ago. With improvement likely she should open her account with this longer trip definitely suiting. Sister Bridget showed plenty of promise when 4th over this course and distance on debut 3 weeks ago. She has better to come and is a threat. Trent is a fair horse who enjoys running here. 2nd and 3rd place finishes were followed by a below form 5th over this race distance 37 days ago. Despite that run he has the record to play a big part if wearing blinkers for the first time triggers a resurgence. Of the rest the other to look at is Sixteen Arches who makes her debut here. She comes from the same yard as Chicago Lightening so it will be interesting to see how she goes.

Big race prediction: 9: Chicago Lightening.
