JOHN O'KEEFFE IRISH RACING TIPS
John O'Keeffe has 3 tips from this evenings meeting at Dundalk.
5:30 DUNDALK (AW)
BAR 1 BETTING "DOWNLOAD OUR APP FOR CHELTENHAM" HANDICAP
OCEAN MANIFEST - 10/3
OCEAN MANIFEST shaped well last time, finishing strongly despite racing keenly and suggesting there is more to come. A 3lb rise looks unlikely to halt his progress and with a slightly more settled run he can take another step forward. He makes strong appeal here.

NEW SADDLE BAR AT DUNDALK STADIUM HANDICAP
PEARL JEWEL - 12/1
PEARL JEWEL looks nicely treated off a mark of 95 given she has previously run well from higher ratings in handicaps. A proven course-and-distance winner, she has the form to be competitive in this grade. With conditions to suit, she holds solid each-way claims.

FLOODLIT FRIDAYS AT DUNDALK STADIUM RACE
GAUCHER - 2/1
GAUCHER looks a strong contender for Willie Mullins and Billy Lee after impressing with a smart win at Dundalk in December. A proven performer over jumps, he has shown he possesses plenty of pace on the Flat and this 1m2f trip should suit perfectly. With that blend of stamina and speed, he can prove too sharp for his rivals here.
