McGuinness can't split Dundalk duo

Trainer Ado McGuinness is doubly represented in the BAR 1 Betting 'Best Odds Guaranteed Overnight' Handicap at Dundalk on Friday evening. 

While bookmakers make Serenity Blue a general 4/1 market leader, McGuinness admits that there is very little separating the recent UK import and his more established stablemate Star Harbour (9/1). 

The former won over a-mile-and-a-half on his Irish debut at the same track last month, before finishing fourth on his most recent appearance. Meanwhile, Star Harbour is on somewhat of a recovery mission having disappointed at Listowel last time. 

McGuinness said: "Both of them have good chances, hard to pick them at home.

"Adam (Caffrey) has gone for Serenity Blue, but Star Harbour loves this place. He had a little bit of a mishap after Listowel, but he is in good form.

"They are in good order."
