Oliver unleashes another smart one
After striking here last Friday night with an impressive newcomer in Tom Melbourne, Andy Oliver was at it again in the Dundalk Stadium – Light Up Your Night Maiden. The market gave the hint, that first-timer, Vitally Important, could be good and so it transpired as he landed the mile contest in style under Chris Hayes. Wed 10th Dec

we were expecting a big run from him the last day at the Curragh but I had no explanation why he ran so badly. He may have had a look around and we were more positive today and Chris gave him a super ride. I thought the turning track would help and we'll see what the handicapper does now but he does have handicap options.

Fran gave him a great ride. He's a big horse and showed a lot of promise on his first start. He didn't build on that in his two runs this year but we put a lot of that down to the ground. Even though he's by Pivotal, he likes a bit of better ground and it was just about ideal today (officially good to yielding). We'll see what the handicapper does with him.

He came to me earlier this year but he had a minor setback and we were under a bit of pressure to try and get him out this year,. He was hardly more than ready to run and I think he's a smart horse.
