Galway Betting Odds

Galway 6:50PM

Handicap | Flat | 1m 122y

Going: Good

Verdict

Plenty with chances, including the hat-trick seekers Kirkland Sioux and Johnny Soda, along with Krasimir and recent hurdles winner Minella Rocket. However, there could be value to be had in the still unexposed Gowran maiden winner AMENITA on handicap debut with the in-form 7lb claimer Reese Holohan booked and nicely drawn. [Alan Hewison]

Had a run in a barrier trial last year; shaped promisingly when third behind the smart Sparan Nua in Naas maiden (1m) in May and following month landed similar contest, despite running green, good chance she'll improve again on handicap debut although opening mark looks high enough.

Enjoying a fine season with 1m wins in handicap at Cork, rated race at Leopardstown (Krasimir third) and most recently in Killarney handicap 16 days ago, defying top-weight narrowly; 5lb rise for latest but should remain competitive.

Progressive filly on a hat-trick of handicap wins, after successes over this trip at Fairyhouse and when defying 12lb rise at the Curragh, making all in beating her elders; up a further 11lb here but still greatly respected.

Several placings before off the mark in Dundalk AW maiden over this trip earlier in the month under a positive ride, not needing to improve on previous turf efforts which included Leopardstown third (beaten 1l) to Johnny Soda whom he now meets on 8lb better terms; contender from a good draw.

Debut juvenile winner a year ago (7f, Leopardstown); opened 3yo campaign in Group 3 company, notably 3.5l off subsequent US Grade 1 winner Kensingston Lane in Athasi Stakes (Curragh); never really landed a blow on handicap debut at same venue in late May (1m), cheekpieces tried.

Kingman filly didn't show much in sole start last season at Cork (7f, soft) when slowly away, but reappeared to land Gowran fillies' maiden last month, wearing down a front-runner late on over 1m (yielding) - third has won since; unexposed entering handicap ranks and booking of in-form claimer a positive.

Placed in Dundalk AW maidens last winter, not so good there in May before successful hurdling debut in Limerick 3yo maiden early this month, despite taking keen hold and making most (good); didn't get home over 1m2f on sole Flat handicap effort (Navan) before that win so drop back in trip should suit.

Dundalk AW maiden winner at this trip in April; behind Johnny Soda last two starts, most recently beaten 3l in Killarney handicap when never on terms over 1m; bit to find but stiffer track could suit.

Maiden hasn't lived up to a quite lofty rating achieved on the back of Curragh maiden third last autumn (soft-to-heavy), although wasn't disgraced in Gowran conditions event in June; looks to have it to do off this mark.

Sprang a 33-1 surprise in a Leopardstown maiden this time last year (7f, good) but hasn't built on that effort, most recently seasonal return at same venue early this month (hanging left late on); entitled to come on for that.

Limerick maiden winner went up 8lb after finishing second to an older rival in Listowel conditions event; ran to similar level when fourth in rated race at Leopardstown, weakening close home; prominent racer but wide draw and stiff finish possible negatives.
