Galway Race 3 - Connolly's Red Mills Irish Ebf Auction & Median Mdn Hurdle
COOLISHAEL (1) recorded top three finishes in all four rules starts including when 1L second over 3218m at Listowel. Looks capable of going one better. GIVE IT A CRACK (8) is expected to play a role in the finish following a 6L third contesting the previously mentioned Listowel event. IF YOU BELIEVE (4) stepped up on his first rules start placing 6L fourth over 3319m at Clonmel making his hurdling debut. Strong claims. JURY TIME (9) has been off the track since racing from the front prior to fading running 13.25L third tackling a field of seven in a 3419m jumpers flat race at Limerick during March. Claims.
