Galway 4.40
GALWAY 4.40 Handicap - 7 Furlongs - 15 Run - 3 year olds - Going Good
This is always a trappy and competitive event and although a low draw is an advantage a horse breaking smartly from a higher draw or ridden to finish strongly up the hill always has a sporting chance. As always here important to conserve energy and not do too much too soon.
My pair against the field are both strong finishing types.
ROCK ETOILE is being well supported which suggests it will be fit enough off a 4 month break and has undoubtedly been prepared for this race and to hide a decent mark for as long as possible. Draw in 14 is a niggle but the horse has a touch of Class and confidently expected to go very close.
THUNDER RAIN may be an appropriate name for a horse at the moment, drawn in 6 should mean absolutely no excuses with luck in running. The trip and likely way the race is won looks ideal and the horse remains on a nice mark. No excuses and a bod run expected.
TIP - RICK ETOILE / Tracker - Thunder Rain.
