Tuesday was a good day for both my picks at Galway, in the 5.40 Keep In Touch won. The 13/8 favourite disputed the lead for a second time 1 1/2 furlongs out taking top spot narrowly soon after. She kept on well asserting herself inside the final furlong and despite being pressed close to home she held on to win by 1/2 a length. In the other race Azallya finished 2nd. The 11/2 shot was 8th at halfway moving into 3rd a furlong out. She kept on in the final furlong going into 2nd in the final strides, Yaxeni won the race by 4 lengths.
Seven races take place at Cork on Wednesday with two features.
6.15: Coolmore Stud Gleneagles Irish EBF Maiden.
10: King Of Scotia: A horse who showed there is plenty to work with when second on debut at The Curragh 18 days ago. Despite being slowly away he travelled well from 2 out and with improvement expected he should be taken seriously and he can take this contest.
6.45: Irish Stallion Farms EBF Premier Nursery Handicap.
2: Spirit Genie: A promising horse who arrives here after winning at Roscommon when last seen 23 days ago. He stayed on well in the final furlong to come home by 3/4 of a length and with more to come he can follow up here on this his handicap debut.
