Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Eastern Peace is our selection at Dundalk, and his progressive profile is the reason to side with him over Expound, who is only two pounds better on our figures. A horse still on the upgrade over ten furlongs on the all-weather can outrun a narrow rating gap, and Eastern Peace sits just behind the top-rated runner at 74. Expound is the obvious danger, with Tribal Moon and Summer Snow also close enough on ratings to make this a tight contest in a big field of 14. Confidence is low, but Eastern Peace is the one to be with.

Tribal Moon showed up well with a second and two thirds in his last five, and he has run over today's trip and going before, while our rating of 74 ranks him third of 14. Yet to win in that spell, and a sixth last time out leaves a question over his sharpness off 140 lb from stall 16.

Celtic Druid has run over today's trip and going and is back after just 16 days, but he's finished eighth in his last two and is winless in his last six. A second and third four and five starts back show he has ability, though he carries 137 lb from stall five.

Comfort Line was eighth last time out, though a fifth two starts back and a third three starts back, with a win four starts back, show he can pick up a cheque; he has run over today's trip and going, and 25 days off is no concern. Carrying 136 lb from stall 17, he looks a mid-pack type, ranked sixth of 14 by our rating.

Eastern Peace comes into this on the back of a third last time out, and she has run over today's trip and going before, with a month since that run. Yet to win in her last five starts, she still gets the nod on her overall profile from draw 1.

Won last time out and was second two starts back, so the form is on the up, but this gelding returns after 50 days and has run over today's trip. Carrying 135 lb from draw 14 off an official 69, he looks a midfield sort, with our rating of 67 ranking him tenth of 14.

Big Jake is winless in his last three, finishing fifth last time out, an eighth two starts back and a fourth three starts back, and he is hard to fancy off 135 lb. A quick turnaround of six days and previous experience over today's trip are the positives, while our rating leaves him among the lowest-rated in the field.

Expound tops our ratings at 76 against an official mark of 64, and he has run over today's trip and on this going, with a fourth two starts back and another fourth four starts back showing he is rarely far away. The risk is a disappointing eighth last time and no win in his last six starts.

Peter Lawlor 0/0
Summer Snow has run over today's trip and on this going, and our rating of 73 ranks her fourth of 14, with a speed figure of 79 to back it up, so she's a threat off an official mark of 64. The risk is form that reads poorly, an eighth last time out and yet to win in her last six, with a third four starts back her only top-three finish.

Winless in his last six, Limestone Red was seventh last time out, 18 days ago, and a fifth two starts back leaves him hard to fancy at 133 lb from draw 13. He has run over today's trip and going, and a second four starts back is the best of his form.

Dancing Steve was unplaced last time out, though he did win two starts back and was third the run before, so there is some ability here; he has run over today's trip and going, but carrying 132 lb from stall four, and ranked 13th of 14 on our figures, he is hard to fancy.

Yet to win in her last six, Enchanted Lady has finished seventh, ninth and seventh in her last three before an unplaced latest effort, though she has run over today's trip and going. Our rating of 68 sits above her official 61, but 42 days off and 132 lb in stall six temper enthusiasm.

Tyraxes has finished seventh in his last two starts and is winless in his last six, though he's back after just 16 days and has run over today's trip and going before. Our rating of 68 sits above his official 61, but a midfield ranking of ninth of 14 tempers the optimism from stall 8.

Trumph is hard to fancy, unplaced last time out and again two starts back, with a sixth three starts back her best recent finish, and she is yet to win in her last five. She has run over today's trip and had 37 days off, but 131 lb from stall 12 and our rating of 54 against an official 65 leave plenty to prove.

Lamberella is hard to fancy, unplaced in her last two and winless in her last six, with a fourth three starts back the best of her recent efforts. She has run over today's trip and is fresh from a 19-day break, but 129 lb from draw 15 and a bottom-ranked 14 of 14 on our figures say plenty.

Sixth last time out just eight days ago and 126 lb from stall two hold her back, though our 69 rating sits well above her official mark of 60.
