Race preview
RICCARDI MEDICI looks worth a crack at this trip. He has kept on for third in a slightly higher grade over 1m1f at Leopardstown and over an extended 1m2f at this track when last seen in October. Trainer Mick Halford and Jockey Ronan Whelan are finishing the season well. The veteran Universal Focus is well able to have a say off a mark of 48. He was placed in Killarney on his last start. He has a couple of C&D wins in the book and the last one came off a rating of 56 in September 2021. First-reserve Well Funded would be making her Dundalk debut if getting a run. She has been in very good form over hurdles with two victories on decent ground in her last four races. Ragtime Red is another to consider with a 10lb claimer putting him on his last winning mark. Maura's Gift finished second for Robert Whearty in Killarney and has a shot.
