Galway Race 5 - Guinness Irish Ebf Fillies Maiden
ETERNAL SPIRIT (5) resumes after a ten-month break. Showed promise last time finishing 4.5L sixth over 1609m at Leopardstown. Leading chance if ready. JANNAH STAR (7) placed all three attempts this campaign and can break through. GENEROUS SUPPORT (6) ran a solid 3.5L fourth debuting in a 2011m contest at Leopardstown and is open to improvement. LEDECKY (8) debuts for a top yard. One to watch in the market.
