Fran Berry's Dundalk Tips
Harry's Legacy - 6.15 Dundalk
Nusra - 6.45 Dundalk
Billie Frechette - 7.15 Dundalk
HARRY'S LEGACY looks a standout returning to the Polytrack at Dundalk tonight, down in grade, following a very promising return to action here in September.
A couple of seasons ago he looked an improving stayer who could scale the heights but he then missed a length of time for whatever reason, but the September outing showed he retained more than enough ability.
The handicapper has dropped him to a mark of 75 after failing to show up in a premier handicap at Naas in October, while the maiden hurdle effort can probably be ignored with this race in mind.
He could be a blot on the handicap back from a two-month break under Billie Lee.
The first division of the mile and a half handicap is probably the stronger of the two divisions. However, NUSRA is very interesting.
A dual winner here last winter, she shaped like needing the run when returning after a six-month absence - both pre-race and visually in the event itself.
With the benefit of that run, and cheekpieces being reapplied, one would think she's at her peak today. She's also reunited with Shane Foley and although stall 17 isn't ideal, we'll take our chances with Sky Bet offering five places.
BILLIE FRECHETTE had some smart early-season placed form and after a couple of runs over hurdles, she looked an unlucky loser behind the reopposing Just Another Eagle, who went forward and was able to get up with the pace.
Billie Frechette came from further back and despite having an interrupted passage, only went down by a neck and may well have won on another night. With a kinder draw in stall three, and Colin Keane on board, she looks a good bet.
