All-weather action this evening

Two all-weather meetings this evening, at Dundalk (Ireland) and Wolverhampton. The Irish track, where there are maximum fields in almost all 8 races, has a much better card, with 2 decent handicaps topping the bill. The 7 furlongs race at 20.40 CET couldgo to Funatfantasia (Joanna Morgan/ Pat Smullen), who has been placed in 7 out of 10 races at this track and is now overdue for a win. The 1 mile 3 furlongs race at 22.40 looks wide open, but trainer Willie Mullins has two chances here with Tango Foxtrot (Paul Townend) and Sani California (Danny Mullins), while consistent Sinsational (Edward Lynam/ S. Foley) is another for the short list. The mile conditions race at 21.10 alsolooks interesting. Finicius (Eoin Griffin/ Johnny Murtagh) is unbneaten i 2 starts here and is just preferred to Solas Na Greine (Jim Bolger/ Kevin Manning), who looked a bit unlucky here last week.

Betting forecast:
1.Race: Soap Wars - Brave Falcon - Bett`S Spirit
2.Race: Sheena`S Palace - Blue Belle Polka - Maidin Maith
3.Race: Cosmic Breeze - Alaiyma - Little Bug
4.Race: Alone He Stands - Funatfuntasia - Killinan
5.Race: Finicius - Solas Na Greine - Crossing
6.Race: The Gnathologist - Countess Petrushka - Kaplinsky
7.Race: Mad Existence - Full Title - Matjar
8.Race: Dani California - Monteriggioni - Top Mark



At Wolverhampton, easily the best race is the class 2 handicap over 1 1/2 miles at 21.50. Millville (Michael Jarvis/ Jimmy Fortune) is an a.w. specialist and won over this CD in February, but he has been off since the spring and faces a stiff task under top weight. The three 3yo´s in the field, Tarkheena (Alan Swinbank/ Robert Winston), Keine´s Day (Mark Johnston/ Joe Fanning) - going for a hat-trick - and bottom weight Slip (James Boyle/ Andrea Atzeni) all look dangerous.

Betting forecast:
1.Race: One More Round - Absa Lutte - Bishopbriggs
2.Race: Bluebell Ridge - L`Homme De Nuit - Zuwaar
3.Race: Blue Hills - Irish Ballad - Stravita
4.Race: Ucantmissme - Monsieur Fillioux - Inconspicuous Miss
5.Race: Party Frock - Pivotal Queen - Azure Mist
6.Race: Tarkheena Prince - Keenes Day - Bandama
7.Race: Hyde Lea Flyer - Blues Minor - Morbick
