Our View on the Galway Card
Three races worth a view, scored on market position, official ratings, recent form and yard form. Our reasoning is shown so you can disagree with it.
Young Rebel is the strongest case on the card at 4/11. Recent form reads well against these. In a 22-runner field, take the each-way terms seriously.
Direct Approach makes more sense each-way at 11/4. Recent form reads well against these. In a 22-runner field, take the each-way terms seriously.
Inthenickoftime is our selection at Galway, and the case rests on a progressive profile that makes him the pick over the two joint top-rated runners, Jay Jay Zee and Grandy Lane, who are each only two pounds better on our figures. At 114 he sits right in the mix, and an improving horse over this 16-furlong trip on good to soft can close that small gap. Jay Jay Zee and Grandy Lane are the obvious dangers, with Quint Major, just two pounds behind our pick, also firmly in the picture, so this is far from a straightforward task. Even so, Inthenickoftime's upward trajectory gives him the edge. Best price 3/2.
Just For One makes more sense each-way at 9/2. Recent form reads well against these.
Fire Coral is the strongest case on the card at 11/4. The yard is in form, and that tends to matter more than any single line of form.
Isdistheone makes more sense each-way at 13/5. The yard is in form, and that tends to matter more than any single line of form.
