4/8/23 Galway

 The one winner on Thursday was Zarak The Brave, the 9/2 shot travelled strongly and was prominent challenging from 2 out. He led before the last and despite coming under pressure he rallied on the run-in just holding on to beat Jesse Evans by a head. In the other race Dandy Alys was 3rd, the 3/1 chance was 4th at halfway dropping to 5th entering the straight. She made headway from a furlong out keeping on and going 3rd close to home. Upfront Miramis beat Keep In Touch by a neck.

 Galway enters the fifth day of it’s summer festival on Friday with 8 more races and 2 highlights. 

5.00: Guinness Galway Tribes Handicap Hurdle. 

9: Fiveonefive: Has two wins from four runs this year his last was a career best performance at Clonmel 33 days ago. He made headway from 2 out staying on well in the closing stages leading in the final strides coming home by a head. He should continue his progression and despite stepping up in class he can win again here.

6.35: Guinness Handicap. 

5: Weston: A new recruit for Gordon Elliott who caught the eye when finishing fifth at Royal Ascot 45 days ago on his second start for the yard. He goes significantly back down in trip here but with plenty more to come he can build on that performance and take this.
