Dwaine Tips History

It's a massive night at Richmond Park and after beating Shamrock Rovers at home last week the dream of survival is very much on for Pats. The Saints beat Finn Harps, Derry and Bray at home in three of the four home games before the Rovers win. Limerick have a little more breathing space and Pats can put on a big performance at home.

Fourth in Roscommon and ground should suit today in Limerick, 11/1 backed into 5/1 is a sizeable gamble and I fancy Port Moody to have a say for the places in this one.

Better at Galway recently, Red Stars drops in weight and a return to the soft ground at Limerick today can see the John Ox trained Red Stars put up a good fight.

Seven games in a row in which Galway has scored and Bray had a big 5-0 win away to Derry. 2-1 earlier this year to Bray away, I can see both teams scoring this afternoon at the Carlisle.

Rovers looking to hold onto third place for European qualification and they sit only a point ahead of Derry in fourth. Drogheda have lost their last three in the league letting in nine and they have long since been tailed off bottom of the league. Away win.

Five of the last six times these sides have faced off Rovers have ran out the winners and with Drogheda bottom of the league with a -41 goal difference and Rovers chasing european football I can only see the Dublin side winning this away game.

Won at the Curragh in July this type of race should suit Tony The Gent who has a strong finish. 5/1 was the quote early, backed into 5/2, today is the day for Tony The Gent.

Second at Tipperary on the 26th of September, this is a real opportunity for Spanish Point and Donnacha can land for AP O'Brien.

Colin Keane and Ger Lyons always a good combination and Daliyah who has ran well on each outing but yet to make the step up can deliver today against an average looking field.

Thunder Speed really doesn't look too far away in my book and this Dundalk handicap can see Thunder Speed strike at Dundalk again after a December win.

Beau Satchel has dropped to a mark where this Dundalk handicap looks a perfect fit and the favourite will be tough to beat I reckon. Better at Galway three weeks ago, can get stuck in here.

Second over course and distance two weeks ago, Mostawfee looks primed to get that much needed win this evening in Dundalk.

Making a debut on the Irish all weather after multiple runs at Kempton, Lyfka has had a change of trainers and the 12/1 opening price backed into 7/1 speaks for itself I feel.

14/1 has been backed into 11/1 for this listed race in Dundalk and won over seven furlongs in the middle of August at this track. Grace Rafaela the pick of the each way fancies.

5th, 4th and 3rd, Bonnie Baugh seems to be getting better by the run and the extra furlong here from the 3rd place last time out might be the difference.

2nd at Dundalk a couple of weeks ago, Smugglers Creek has Smullen on board and looks capable of going one better tonight.

Clear favourite for AP O'Brien, has won at Dundalk and over similar distance. Favourite to win.

Second FAI Cup semi final, Shamrock Rovers won on their last trip to Oriel Park and have won the last two league meetings with Dundalk. Revenge on the cards for the League Cup defeat though, I can see this being tight and going into extra time.

Handicap hurdle winner last winter, 20/1 opening and being backed all morning, L'Attesa might be suited to the few furlongs less on the run today and can figure in Clonmel I feel.

33/1 into 12/1 early on the market, there is money for Walkers Point today in Clonmel. 2nd, 4th and 4th in the last three runs on this track, fancy Walkers Point to improve.
