Dundalk
Fri 23rd Oct

Formscan By John O'Riordan - Johnny Murtagh, who has been finishing the season strongly, can land this finale with SAKOKU(14). Runner-up to a subsequent winner who is now rated 90 at Navan on her penultimate start, the filly gained valuable handicap experience at this track last time. A lightly-raced daughter of Sea The Stars, the Newtown Anner Stud owned three-year-old has further scope for improvement, and in what doesn't appear to be the strongest of maidens, she can get her head in front. Having shaped with promise on his recent stable debut, Shamrock Flame has to be respected for the Robson De Aguiar team, while Trustmore who was second over course and distance last time, has solid claims despite being drawn out wide.
