Another week further along and after the chaos of the last few weeks there’s a semblance of order on the racing front. Hope it lasts. We are Dundalk bound with 2 3 year olds tomorrow. Dynakite runs in the claimer. We don’t have him very long and I was anxious to get going with him. It’s hard to tell where he is at in terms of ability as his head is not in the game yet. That should come with racing and it would be nice to see him finish out his race. He will be foolish and ungainly early but if he hits the line he should have a little career.   Eloso runs in the mile maiden. With every week that passes and we get closer to the season proper these maidens are becoming increasingly competitive. This lad copped on a lot from his first run and did a lot right on his 2nd run. Ronan hoped that one or both of the market leaders might slip up and he rode him to pick up the pieces. Neither did and he didn’t get a crack at either. The mile will suit but with a poor draw and a deep enough race another step forward would be nice to see. He had a rotten dirty nose when he was withdrawn 2 weeks ago but appears to have fully recovered. Hopefully there’s no lingering effects. This is a tough, galloping, straight forward horse that should run a solid race.
