Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Shenata is our selection and looks the one to beat at Dundalk, with our figures putting her 11 lb ahead of Closefield Beau, which is a sizeable margin over a mile on the all-weather. Closefield Beau is the chief danger, while Green Sparkle and Scarlet Dream sit a further way back and would need to improve to take a hand. With the rest of the seven-runner field rated lower still, Shenata can get the job done, and she is the selection.

Angel Invincible is winless in her last three, unplaced last time and a ninth two starts back, and she has run over today's trip. Back after 15 days and carrying 141 lb from draw 4 off an official 73, she is hard to fancy with our rating ranking her last of seven.

Closefield Beau arrives fresh from a win last time out just nine days ago, and he has run over today's trip and going before, while our rating of 74 ranks him second of seven. The risk is the weight, with 138 lb to carry from stall two off an official mark of 70.

Green Sparkle bounced back with a fourth last time out and has run over today's trip, while our rating of 68 ranks her third of seven, making her a live threat from stall five. The main risk is that she's yet to win in her last four starts, with 43 days off since her last run.

Scarlet Dream is back quickly after nine days, has run over today's trip and going, and our rating of 67 ranks her fourth of seven, so she's a live threat off an official 58. The risk is a winless run in her last six, with a sixth last time out and a ninth five starts back.

Yet to win in his last five, Mutamarid Lsk is hard to fancy as the sixth-ranked of seven on our figures, though a second last time out, a fourth two starts back and a quick nine-day turnaround are encouraging. He has run over today's trip and going, and carries 124 lb from stall one.
