Last Updated: Wed 31 Jul 2024
Our Irish expert Johnny Ward gives his verdict on the Tote Galway Plate and has three other selections for Wednesday, all live on Racing TV.
4.50 Galway: Don'tstopthemusic
Johnny Ward Has An Early Fancy At Galway
Already has very smart bumper form and hurdling experience. He's trained by Martin Brassil and a bet on him here looks to be little more than a bet on how ready he is after 89 days off – hardly enough to dissuade. Very well-bred.
6.00 Galway: She's A Fine Wine
Johnny Ward
Finished: 4thSP: 6/1
Johnny Ward Believes This One Is On The Right Track
Hasn't been entirely straightforward for her since joining this yard but it might be she is better on this ground and winning at Ballinrobe is very encouraging with a view to this track.
6.40 Galway: Shoda
Johnny Ward
Finished: 1stSP: 9/2
Johnny Ward Is Sweet On This Galway Contender
Looks likely to have been aimed at Galway for her Galwegian owner. This is a weak renewal and her debut was promising. Main concern is she wants further.
7.10 Galway: Zanahiyr
Johnny Ward
Finished: 3rdSP: 13/2
Tote Galway Plate: Johnny Ward Gives His Verdict
Is risky in terms of his jumping but Jack Kennedy was sweet on him last week and at least he has scope off this mark unlike most of these.
