Skies goes in search of further Dundalk success

Clear Skies bids for a four-timer in the feature event at Dundalk on Friday, the Irishinjuredjockeys.com Handicap.
The Sea The Stars half-sister to Derby winner Motivator has progressed well here in recent weeks, building up a winning sequence over the extended 10 furlongs, and this step up to a mile and a half should prove no problem. My Direction also comes here in good form having won twice over course and distance, while Abraham and Commander Won are other recent winners on the all-weather to consider.
Colin Keane and Pat Smullen are both in action on this eight-race card, and their battle for the Flat jockeys' championship lit up many nights here this autumn.
Keane has a good chance aboard Bring On The Band in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden, while Aunty Audrey may prove the pick of Smullen's mounts in the Crowne Plaza Leading Jockey & Trainer Championship Handicap.
The Dundalk Stadium - Light Up Your Night Handicap provides an opportunity for riders who have not ridden more than 10 winners since the start of the turf season this year.
The extended 10-furlong race has been divided and Michael Hussey could land division one aboard the Pat Flynn-trained Jessamine
Ben Coen enjoyed considerable success on the pony racing circuit before recording his first winner under Rules here just a fortnight ago and could enjoy further glory on Asian Wing in division two.
