30/10/23 Galway

 Sunday's best came at Galway where Emancipator was 5th, the 6/4 favourite tracked the leaders sitting 3rd at halfway. He was 4th three out but made no impression entering the straight dropping to 5th inside the final furlong, upfront Natural Look beat Old Soul by 3 1/2 lengths. The pick at Wexford didn't run after the course failed a morning inspection and the meeting was abandoned due to the track being waterlogged it has yet to be rearranged. 

 With significant rain on Sunday forcing Wexford to abandon for a second day the Irish racing week begins with just 8 races at Galway on Monday where there are 2 main events. 

 12.30: Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Maiden. 

11: Settlement: After narrowly finishing second at Cork in September she found the step up to group level too much when fifth behind Caught U Looking in the Weld Park Stakes at The Curragh 36 days ago. Despite that performance she has a big chance here back in calmer waters and can pick up her first career win.

3.25: Galway Handicap. 

1: Immutable: A horse with a decent record who picked up his latest win at Naas in April. He returned there to finish a good second when last seen 2 weeks ago leading until 2 out but finding no extra in the final 50 yards. He can definitely give a good account here and return to winning ways.
