A poor day at Galway saw both my picks finish 6th, in the 5.10 Absurde made mistakes the last 3 out and he had no extra in the closing stages. Upfront Arctic Fly beat Sherodan by 4 1/2 lengths. It didn't go any better in the 6.40 where Blues Emperor found himself short of room a furlong out and made no impression in the final 110 yards. Coeur D'or won beating No More Porter by a head.
There are seven races at Galway on Wednesday which make up day 3 of the summer festival with two main events.
6.40: Tote Galway Plate (Grade 3)
2: Kilcruit: A decent horse who produced an excellent performance to win by 15 lengths on handicap debut at the Punchestown festival in April. His hurdles return in a Group 1 at Auteuil can be overlooked and he is the pick here as he aims to achieve his 7th career victory.
7.15: Bet 10 Get 30 Free At tote.ie Irish EBF Mares Handicap Hurdle.
8: Royal Eagle: A course and distance winner who was a good second behind the reopposing Cottie at Downpatrick when last seen 45 days ago. She was always prominent taking 2nd two out but couldn't reach the winner. She goes off the same mark here so a strong run is expected and she can go one better.
