Galway Festival Day 2

When I looked at yesterday's card, i thought why even bother. I fancied very little but had a go anyways. Oh well, today is another day and the racing is looks easier to solve today.

5:10 Universal Truth
5:45Rathmore Castle
6:20Siege Of Ennis
7:00Few Are Chosen
7:35Hasty Katie
8:05Fit The Cove
8:35Angel Stevens

In the first, Universal Truth was an excellent bumper horse with only one disappointing run over hurdles back at Christmas. He has been kept back this season for a novice campaign and even if its a short price favourite, nothing in the race looks in the same sphere and he should take all the beating

the 5:45 is an excellent race with a few good ones in Natal(course and distance winner) and Ninty Two Team(landed a gamble in 2007 season, from 33-1 into 14-1) and trainer Gilligan is a man to be feared. Rathmore Castle though just can't be ignored at such a huge price. He is the class act in the field and if returning to it's best form would be the most dangerous winner. It could of course show no form at all and pull himself up but that's factored into the price and worth a go in this tipsters humble opinion.

Siege of Ennis could prove the pick in a tough race to solve and Few are Chosen and Fit the Cove are Galway specialists. Few are Chosen is two from two here while Fit the Cove looks a plot horse going here when a more suitable race for the Thursday looked on the cards. This is a 50-80 rated race and Fit the Cove somehow gets in. At Galway he'd be rated about 90, so he can shoulder the burden to victory.

In the last, it's a bit of a wild dart and I'd rather have a small bet on Angel Stevens, than back any of O Briens. I hate backing an O Brien horse when he has multiple entries and Weld's horse doesn't look the best bred he has.



GOODWOOD
Two I like at Goodwood today are Lord Shanakill 3:25 and Stone Of Folca 4:00. Stone of Folca is apparently the fastest horse Jim Best has ever trained and he trained a Nunthorpe winner, he hit the front to quickly at Royal Ascot and he could win this on route to another crack at the Nunthorpe.

Lord Shanakill is just below group one but nothing else in the race looks too high of a standard and this is his chance to shine.
