Review dundalk 3rd Feb
< Specific Gravity registered a deserved success in the iCopy - Office Equipment Specialists Handicap at Dundalk.
Ado McGuinness' veteran has been a model of consistency all winter on the Polytrack and was crossing swords with some familiar rivals once more.
He hit the front halfway down the straight, with the Joseph O'Brien-trained pair of Song Of Love and Udogo pressing him, but Specific Gravity (4-1) stuck to his guns admirably and denied Song Of Love by half a length.
McGuinness went on to complete a treble through Oor Jock and Guanabara Bay in the split Crowne Plaza Hotel, Dundalk Handicap.< Patrick lost his way a bit for Richard Fahey but the switch to the Richard O'Brien team has clearly rekindled his enthusiasm for the game and he bounced back to form in the Download The Award-Winning At The Races App Handicap.
The 9-1 chance took the lead off Geological inside the final couple of furlongs and ran right the way to the line to register a length-and-a-quarter verdict.
The Elusive Pimpernel Maiden was fought out by two newcomers, with Tuff Love (7-2) just coming out on top.
John Ess hit the front inside the final furlong, but Colin Keane brought Ger Lyons' Casamento gelding with a withering run down the outside and he got the verdict by a short head.< Duchessofflorence is at the top of her game right now and proved as much in the www.pelican.ie - Party Equipment Rental Rated Race.
The Mick Halford-trained 5-1 chance progressed from her midfield position to take it up a furlong out, and then had enough in reserve to repel the late thrust of Sea Of Blue by three-quarters of a length.< Try Again (7-2 co-favourite) is another at the peak of his powers and backed up a win here four weeks ago with a determined display in the Euro Antiques, Collectables & Auctions Handicap, beating Purple Party by half a length.< Catchy Lass showed her appreciation for having her sights lowered by storming to victory in the Connolly Kelly Accountants Claiming Race at odds of 5-2.
