The AMO Racing team based with Adrian Murray have struck a rich vein of form recently at Dundalk with the Rathowen trainer sending out seven winners in February and one of their stars, Arizona Blaze, is set to reappear on the Polytrack next week.

The son of first-season sire Sergei Prokofiev won twice in a busy juvenile campaign including the Group 3 GAIN Marble Hill Stakes at the Curragh and was placed twice at the highest level.

He signed off last term at Del Mar when beating all bar Magnum Force in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint and is on course to reappear in a six-furlong race at Dundalk next week.

AMO Racing representative Ryan McElligott said, “He is in great shape and there is a conditions race coming up for him in Dundalk (March 14).

"It could be a good starting point for him, and it tees him up nicely for that spring programme of races - the Committed Stakes, Lacken Stakes, and on to the Kings Stand/Commonwealth Cup.”
