Galway Day 2 Selections

Not a bad day for the blog yesterday, with a couple of winners and a couple of places. Spacious Sky ran a shocker, fading badly, while King Of Oriel didn't get the good ground that he loves. He still ran a nice race though and i'm sure he'll be back again next year.Unfortunately I haven't got the time to do a detailed analysis today, but I will post my selections below anyway, with a quick word on their prospects.

Galway Day 2 Selections.

5.15 Novice Hurdle

Achance is taken on Adimelo here. He is unexposed and looked good on his first run over hurdles. Long Dog can chase him home.

Selection: Adimelo 6/1.


5.45 Beginners Chase

Waaheb the obvious choice for Weld but fitness has to be taken on trust and he is overlooked by Geraghty who rides Hash Brown. Empresario is the each way suggestion here. He is a horse that is highly regarded by connections.

Selection: Empresario e/w 20/1.


6.15 Flat Maiden

Should be between the Weld and Bolger horses, with slight preference for the Weld horse, who shaped as if a stiffer finish might suit on her debut.

Selection: Simmanka 15/8.


6.50 Flat Handicap

Baraweez showed signs of a revival on his last run, and his shrewd handler doesnt usually travel to Galway  just for the craic.

Selection: Baraweez 10/1

7.20 Flat Maiden

Should be another one for Weld with Valac. Has good form in the book and should be too good for this lot.

Selection: Valac 13/8

7.50 Flat Handicap

Oor Jock is looking well treated, and can run a big race tepped back up in trip at 12/1.

Selection: Oor Jock e/w 12/1.

8.20 Flat Handicap

Winter Lion lowered the colours of Modem off 8lb lower at Kilbeggan last year (conceded 4lb) and a repeat here should see him go close.

Selection: Winter Lion e/w 10/1.
