Locus back out quick for a win
Locus Standi and Kevin Manning assert

A few of the runners in the Irishinjuredjockeys.com Handicap came in for support, but it paid to stick with the most current form as Locus Standi (Kevin Manning up) reversed last Friday night's placings with Sea Of Blue to take the fourth event at Dundalk.
Jim Bolger 's Locus Standi was actually the market-leader this time, going off at odds of 3/1, and on his twelfth outing he shed his maiden tag by leading under two furlongs out and keeping on well to hold Sea Of Blue by three parts of a length.
Sea Of Blue, victorious on Friday night (over 1m 4f) when Locus Standi filled the second spot, came through from the back in this extended mile and a quarter event, but she couldn't bridge the gap to the winner.
Bolger's travelling head man, Ger Flynn said: "He's been ultra consistent and deserved that. He's been knocking on the door and handled the drop back in trip well. He quickened up nicely and put it to bed."
