GALWAY FESTIVAL 2016 [JULY 25th -- JULY 31st] -- DAY TWO

DAY TWO

This year's Galway festival is off with a bang, and although we only found the one winner yesterday it's early days. 

So we do have to carry forth a small loss of -2.75pts to level stakes at SP. 

The second day is another evening meeting and will begin at 5:15pm with a 2m Novice Hurdle. The feature race tonight being the Colm Quinn BMW sponsored Handicap over a mile and that gets underway at 7.20pm. 

As mentioned on day one our recent years have focused on the horses from trainer Dermot Weld and we will continue to track his progress this week though we might also offer one or two other selections in particular the feature races if no Weld runner is declared.

Going -- Good.

Weather Forecast -- A high of 17C with a chance of a few showers during the course of the evening.


DAY TWO SELECTIONS;

6:15 -- EZIYRA  [WON 2/5F]

6:50 -- SIKANDARABAD  [WON 10/11F]

7:20 -- Feature race for Tuesday, a handicap event of just over a mile and worth é70k to the winner. Dermot Weld has two in this contest KARALARA  [3rd 10/1]  /  ASHRAF  [15th 8/1], so again we aim to cover them both and are forecast about 8/1. 

7:50 -- MALINKA  [14th 4/1]

8:20 -- MONOCLE  [11th 15/2]

Day Two figures -- Kicked off with two short priced favs going in though at least it better than them both getting beat. A 3rd in the big race today was the best of the rest.

D Weld p/l for week +/- [-5.44 after Day 2]
Overall week p/l to date -- +/- [-5.44 after Day 2]

Summer, Horse Racing, Galway, Irish Women, Guinness = Life IS Good.

Results to update later tonight, and Day Three featuring the Galway Plate should be ready by then, along with some info from Goodwood this week. Have a great week.
