The least said about Thursday's poor showing by my picks the better,the only mildly decent performance came in the 2.45 where Sole Pretender was 6th. The 85/40 favourite led early increasing his advantage after the 3rd. His lead was reduced from the 5th but he asserted himself again before the 7th. He was passed 2 out weakening soon after. The race was won by Visionarian who beat Call Me Lyreen by 3/4 of a length. The 3.55 saw Night Of Romance finish 11th while in the 5.05 Party Central was a non-runner in a race won by Tudor City.
Eight more races take place at Galway on Friday where two stand out.
6.00: Guinness Galway Blazers Handicap Chase.
19: Spades Are Trumps: Easily picked up his career best win when last seen at Downpatrick back in March. He came home by 6 lengths and seems to have been saved for this race. He goes down in trip here and definitely enters calculations.
6.35: Guinness Handicap.
18: Ruler Legend: After a 5 1/2 length win at Naas in May he went on to finish 9th behind Eldar Eldarov in the Queen's Vase at Royal Ascot 44 days ago. He makes his handicap debut here and with more to offer over a trip that should suit he gets the vote in this big field.
