5:35 Galway Tips

Bounced back to form at Killarney two starts ago when making eye-catching headway late on to finish a close 5th over a mile. Stepped up on that here earlier in the week when runner-up over a longer trip and, provided this doesn't come too soon, could go close.

Apache Outlaw is eligible for this race and has dropped considerably since since February in handicap ratings. Has been running well in what seems better races. Good each way on Saturday.

Bay Of Dreams finished only just over a length behind San Aeron Tuesday when they were 2nd and 5th over course and distance and now Bay Of Dreams has a seven pound claimer up and first time cheekpieces and should go close.

Is only 2nd reserve and may not get a run but arrives in good form having placed in 5 of last 7 races. Each way chance if maintaining that form

This one is first reserve so I am hoping that she gets a run. She has improved her form of late with 2 wins and a 2nd from her last 3 races under Patrick McGettigan. If she gets a run I hope that this good claimed is back on board and she goes 3 from 4.

Had been off the track for 6 months when making his debut for this yard and didn't shape too badly when finishing well to be a never nearer 5th over 7f. Had to overcome plenty of traffic problems then and it was a similar story at Roscommon next time when only 9th of 14 over a slightly longer trip. Had been eased further by the handicapper ahead of his next effort which was an improved one in finishing a close up 9th moving back up to a mile. Eased again by the handicapper ahead of his latest run but disappointed in what looked an easier race. Eased even further now kept to 7f and tried in a first time tongue tie and on easier ground could do better.
