Galway Race 2 - Quinnbet 3-Y-O Mdn Hurdle
SHARKEYBOY (6) recorded a 6.25L seventh in a 2414m handicap at Listowel. Taken to debut over hurdles with a win representing top stable. GREEN SOUL (4) rates a major threat heading into this race on the back of a 13.25L fourth contesting a 3118m event at Cork on his first hurdle start. PLUG IN HYBRID (5) failed to shine recording a 38L sixteenth contesting a 2011m maiden at The Curragh a month ago. Strong prospects with a step forward expected switching to hurdles. FITS PERFECT (3) raced from off the pace prior to recording a 7.25L eighth contesting a 2414m flat handicap at this circuit. One to note.
