FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - FLEMINGS DREAM was behind Friary Rock when the pair filled the second and third positions following home Metal Man at Kilbeggan 24 days back, but Ray Cody’s mare may reverse form now. The pair are back in trip, though this extended two and three quarter miler is still going to take plenty of getting. Surprisingly after winning at Kilbeggan in August, Flemings Dream didn’t seem to be in love with the County Westmeath venue last time. That may have been more to do with the slow early pace than anything else. She looked a very nice sort prior to that, and going left-handed might be what she wants. There are few if any of these that you’d safely put a line through. Dysart Diamond will justifiably have her supporters. She probably likes better ground, and Gavin Cromwell’s pair, Western Run and Oscar Thyne, are others that can make an impression.
