Wednesday Galway tips: Johnny Ward fancies a 12-1 chance in the Plate

Last Updated: Tue 28 Jul 2026

Top presenter and pundit Johnny Ward has four bets for the third day of action at the Summer Festival! Watch every race and all the analysis live on Racing TV.

6.05 Galway: Fratas

T: Joseph Patrick O'Brien

10/1

Fratas’ hurdles debut saw her land a gamble as a juvenile in late 2023 and it is topical to note her main victim, Eagle Fang, placed off 90 in the big amateurs’ Flat handicap Monday. He is rated 145 over hurdles, whereas Fratas runs here off 112.

She was friendless in the wagering when I put her up on stable debut on the Flat at Limerick, but shaped OK and has to be backed here at 10s.

6.40 Galway: Rocky’s Diamond

12/1

Rocky’s Diamond has been aimed at this race, and is a sophomore who was only getting off the mark chasing at this venue in September.

He should stay out of trouble, is trained by Declan Queally, has the assistance of Michael Kenneally and is lower than his hurdles mark, so 12-1 will do.

7.15 Galway: Sunny South West

7/1

No doubt Daddy Long Legs will make the market but Sunny South West is readily preferred for the excellent Eddie Power and in-form Derek O’Connor.

7.50 Galway: Golddream

10/1

The son of Grey Gatsby is getting there in handicaps and should be primed to give this a good go. Ought to be strong up the hill for an excellent yard.
