Dryland Venom is selected on the back of winning this exact grade and distance — Dundalk 525m A2 — just eight days ago (29 May, perf 91, CmAg/DH — came from behind to dead-heat). That 91-performance win at A2 Dundalk 525m is the single most specific piece of course-and-grade form in this race. Track suitability of 30 reflects Dundalk experience. His prior runs at Shelbourne Park in May were disappointing (perfs 57 and 65) but those came at a different track. He clearly reserves his best for Dundalk — the 91 perf here last week versus 57-65 at Shelbourne shows a strong track affinity. Composite of 48 is mid-field but the specific recent form argument overwhelms the composite. He tends to challenge late (CmAg — came again) which works well at 525m where there is sufficient ground to close. T4 at Dundalk 525m carries 16.3% — below average structurally but the form evidence more than compensates.
