Galway Race 7 - Student Raceday On October 27Th Flat Race
ZEUS POWER (8) makes plenty of appeal on paper being a four-year-old gelding by Protectionist out of Zippity Do Da on debut for the Joseph O'Brien stable. Likely player. ANSWER THAT (1) was promising debuting second tackling deep ground at Gowran Park in January over 3200m before a downfield result in a twenty four runner jumpers flat race at the Punchestown Festival during April. Progress expected. QUINTA BRIGADA (7) finished sixth contesting a 3200m jumpers flat event on first carer start at Leopardstown. Open to improvement after a break. FAITH OF EMPIRES (2) needs a market check providing second outing.

When resuming last campaign 2nd in a small field at Gowran Park on January 23 over 3218m, 12 len behind Carrigmoorna Beech with 74.5kg at $6.50. Big chance with some natural improvement likely.

Four-year-old gelding (Castle Du Berlais - Baguera Daudaie) at the races for the first time. Likely to be better for this outing.

Third race start. First start 11th of 18 at Punchestown on April 29 over 3319m, 19 len behind Wonderful Everyday carrying 71kg at $41. Went for a spell before returning 8th of 18 at Listowel on September 25 over 3218m, 11 len behind Mister Pessimistic with 72kg at $4. Fitter and is one of the chances.

Four-year-old gelding by Protectionist out of Zippity Do Da having his first start. Worth watching for a betting move.
