Our man in Ireland Fran Berry fancies a couple of each-way bets at Dundalk this evening with Homecoming well fancied on the back of a good run last time.
I like a couple at Dundalk tonight starting with HOMECOMING in the Join Us On Instagram @Dundalk_Stadium Handicap at 6.00.
Trained by Ray Cody, this Zoffany filly is only a three-year-old and she had some very good form at this track last year as a juvenile, while she shaped well in fifth on her return on the grass at Gowran in June.
Her subsequent disappointing eighth at the same track can be ignored as it came just eight days later and something clearly went amiss given she was off the track for 138 days after that.
Her sole start since then, though, was really encouraging. Fifth at this track behind Ediyva in maiden company on November 4, that was a strong maiden and an opening mark of 68 is interesting.
There’s more to come from her, she’s open to improvement and from a good draw she’s worth an each-way bet at 9/1 getting the four places (Betfair, Paddy Power).
Later on SHAWAF looks a good each-way bet at 13/2 in the closing Follow Us On Twitter @DundalkStadium Handicap getting the four places.
He’s got a wide draw to overcome, but we’re getting bigger odds on the back of it and I think he can defy his berth in 13.
He’s got a lot of gate speed and he’s in cracking form following a second in handicap company and maiden victory last time that he achieved by making all.
If he had a good draw he’d be at least a couple of points shorter.
That’s it for the bets but look out for Lily Like in the 4.30, she could be one to follow throughout the winter season at Dundalk.
Feminism could be tough to beat here, but Lily Like is an interesting recruit from Andrew Balding’s and watch out for any late market vibes.
