With no racing in Ireland on Tuesday the action returns with meetings at Navan and Galway on Wednesday with two features. The first is at Navan at 4.55 where 11 start the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Handicap where 3 have a good chance. Sasta has two wins from five runs this year her last was at Gowran Park 18 days ago where she was a good 5 1/2 lengths in front when she crossed the line and she will definitely be a big player here. Memyselfandmoi was a very good third in her last outing at Listowel in late September and if she puts in the same strong performance she will be up there again here. The other strong contender is Zoom Zoom Babe who has had 2 second place finishes this year her last was at Gowran Park in early September but she found a move up to 1 mile 4 furlongs last time out at Tipparary a little too far so a significant drop in trip to a mile here should suit. Others that may challenge are Sh Boom and Mean Fomhair but it will be an upset if either of these two win.
The days other big race is at Galway at 5.15 when 13 go to post for the Guinness Handicap. Pilbara is the strongest horse here having won twice already this year at Tipparary where he was 7 lengths in front after 3 miles and at Cork in July where he got home by a head since those two wins he has dropped down in trip with two seconds his best results, his last being at Listowel 2 weeks ago and he should be challenging again here. Bridge Native is looking for her 3rd win in a row following victories at Downpatrick in August and last time out on this Galway track in early September so definitely one to watch. Thecraicisninety finished a good third over this course and distance back in July and was only ran out of the top two inside the final furlong so should go well again here while Diamond Turf is the other main danger having not raced since a second over this races distance at Gowran Park back in March so he should be competitive in a strong race.
Big race predictions: Navan 4.55- 6: Sasta Galway 5.15: 5: Bridge Native.
