Review dundalk 16th Mar
Dundalk regular Togoville took his win tally at the all-weather circuit to nine with a gutsy performance in the Fyffes Race.
The 11-10 favourite broke well but seemed to stumble a couple of strides after the stalls, although Pat Smullen didn't panic and allowed his mount to regain his composure before leading.< Primo Uomo loomed up menacingly but he is a five-furlong specialist, whereas Togoville is proven over further and Anthony McCann's grand campaigner ran right the way to the line to cross it with half a length in hand.
McCann followed up through Fashaar in the Hydroscand Ireland Ltd. Handicap.
Andrew Slattery put the pace to the race on the 4-1 shot and although there were plenty queuing up to challenge halfway down the straight, Fashaar kept going to see off Diable D'Or by half a length.< Tagle was only fourth in a claimer here on Monday but left that performance behind to land the Kellihers Electrical Handicap.
The Joseph O'Brien-trained 6-1 chance showed a decent of foot to go two lengths away from Lucky Red in the hands of Wayne Lordan.
A trip to Britain for two quick starts in January didn't pay off for Blastofmagic (4-1) but he has been freshened up and accounted for warm favourite Glenmoore in the Crowne Plaza Race And Stay Handicap.< Trump Card beat Specific Gravity (11-2) in the BK Forklifts Handicap, only for the stewards to reverse the result at an inquiry.< Carvelas (11-4 joint-favourite) pipped Six Silver Lane in the CX+ Sport Claiming Race, while The Lords Walk (10-1) took the EliteForm Manufacturing (Sheet Metal Specialists) Handicap.< Beach Bar Jon Ess and Reckless Lad were first, second and third here three weeks ago and again filled the places in the At The Races Handicap, albeit in a slightly different order.
Jon Ess justified 4-5 favouritism to defeat Reckless Lad, with Beach Bar only third this time.
