BEATRIX POWER is the banker bet at Dundalk in the first race this evening.

She has been progressing quite nicely in maidens through the year on turf and while a shade disappointing when beaten at a short price last time, the winner isn't a bad horse at all and she only went down by half a length after moving like the best filly in the race.

She gave best to the winner on that occasion but there's definite prospect of major improvement switching to Polytrack tonight as her full-sibling Collective Power was a multiple all-weather winner.

She's a strong-travelling filly and racing around the bend for the first time will almost certainly suit.

HURRICANE HELEN should also be very hard to beat back at Dundalk under Colin Keane in division one of the mile handicap.

She appeared to be a non-stayer when beaten over 10 and a half furlongs two starts ago at this venue and ran a good race when third again at the Curragh last month.

The strong-travelling mare is on a fair mark and a mile at this course is just about her optimum.
