Poetic Sound heads our ratings at 103, six pounds clear of Touch The Moon on 97, and that gap is enough to make him the logical choice in a five-runner field over a mile and a half on the Dundalk all-weather. Touch The Moon is the chief danger, with Fixation on 95 and Tribal Star on 90 also in the mix, though neither has the same ratings advantage. Quatre Bras looks to have a lot to find on 82. Confidence is low given how tightly the principals are bunched, but Poetic Sound is the one to side with, so he is our selection.
