Review dundalk 27th Jan

Damian English took the feature TEC Electric Handicap at Dundalk, but it was 20-1 outsider Geological who claimed the spoils rather than market leader Red Avenger

Red Avenger blew the start, whereas Ana O'Brien bounced Geological out straight into the lead and he never looked back.

The five-year-old had never won over further than six furlongs so was there to be shot at in the straight, but he saw out the mile really well and passed the post three-quarters of a length to the good over McGuigan < Rock In Peace came out of a thrilling finish to the Kelleher Insurances Rated Race best under a power-packed Colin Keane ride.

The 2-1 favourite tackled George Boole for the lead halfway down the straight but his rival wouldn't lie down and after fighting tooth and nail through the final furlong, Rock In Peace got the verdict by half a length.< Magen's Moon had form in decent maidens last year and got off the mark on her return to action in the Elusive Pimpernel Fillies Maiden.

The John Oxx-trained 11-10 favourite raced in second until taking it up early in the straight, and had enough in the tank to repel Zinat by a length.

Old rivals Go Kart and Strategic Force appeared to have the Meridian Security Handicap between them when flashing past the furlong pole in a share of the lead.

However, Ronan Whelan went after them on Danz Gift (6-1), and Sheila Lavery's sprinter swamped them to deny Go Kart by a neck.< Wheels Of Fortune was all the rage for the LMFM Radio Apprentice Maiden but finished out of the frame as World Of Good (11-2) made all in the hands of Donnacha O'Brien.< Alans Pride (9-2) ran out an emphatic winner of the Shabra Charity Foundation Handicap (Div 1), with the second division going the way of 9-2 chance Tennessee Waltz.
