The week didn't start well with my pick Jazzaway failing to finish. The 8/15 favourite was 3rd at halfway,but a slight mistake at the 7th saw her drop to 4th. She made no further impression and was pulled up early on in the run-in. Upfront Macgiloney won by 3 1/4 of a length.
Tuesday is the second day at Galway where the feature comes at 6.30 when 10 begin the Ardilaun Hotel Oyster Stakes. Great White Shark is a useful filly who after winning on this course in July last year went on to Newmarket to win the Cesarewitch by 3 lengths. Her two runs this year have been a 7th at Gowran Park and an 8th to Black Tears in the Mares Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival when last seen 175 days ago despite that she looks competitive and her class should shine through. Haparanda was a very creditable 3rd in a listed race at Roscommon at the end of June,she needs a stronger gallop but is still a leading player. The other main threat will be Merroir who has 3 wins from 10 runs this year her last was on this course in July. Her latest run saw her finish a good third in a handicap at The Curragh 17 days ago and she should go well again.
Big race prediction: 4: Great White Shark.
