Galway 5.15

By Irish Racing (Sean aka Placespotter)

Sean - Galway 5.15 - Premier Handicap 1 mile 4 furlongs - 16 run

A competitive Premier Handicap and a number with strong chances and a few who have already run this week.

Princess Zoe is the one they all have to beat but at 5/2 I'll try to find one that can. I selected Tudor City over jumps on Thursday, would never rule out a Tony Martin horse but i think he has better chances in this race.

WAR DIARY looks very strong at second favourite and I will have an each way saver at the Odds to cover the following bets.

Before moving to the tips, a quick mention for Lynwood Gold and Pearl Warrior, both big dangers but both very upwardly mobile in the handicap for a while now, both will like conditions but the Harrington horse may need further and Pearl Warrior has already jumped a whopping 33 pounds in 2 seasons.

My main tip is HALIMI , a Course winner here in 2019, very solid form credentials for Jim Bolger and Kevin Manning and will be very disappointing if not placed at the very least.

I'll have 2 smaller Tracker bets on Tony Martins MELBURNIAN who has nice soft ground form, needed seasonal debut and one who I think can be competitive off what may not be as daunting a handicap mark as it looks. The other at big Odds is TAKERENGO this has collateral form with Princess Zoe from a few runs back, Takerengo ran here on Monday but this trip suits and in the race before that finished 7 lengths behind Princess Zoe and now gets a 6lbs pull for that defeat. I think it can take far closer order here than the midfield run on Monday.

TIP - HALIMI - TRACKERS - Melburnian + Takerengo (consider e/w saver on War Diary)
