Review GALWAY 3rd Aug
Another Galway Festival draws to a close with a seven-race card which gets under way at 1.45.
The feature is the Michael McNamara & Co.Builders Dublin & Galway Handicap over seven furlongs and Dermot Weld is double-handed as he attempts to end a fantastic week with a bang.< Kingsdale Ocean and Thoughtless Moment go for the master of Rosewell House and the latter is the choice of Pat Smullen. She was placed in Listed company last year and will strip fitter for her recent reappearance.< Capt Chaos and Hard Rock City are also proven at a higher level and provide a stern examination, while Almass and Russian Empress are open to further improvement.
Weld applies blinkers to Redwater River in the Parknasilla Hotel Handicap but he must leave Wednesday's ordinary effort well behind.
His stablemate Turklord is interesting near the foot of the weights, while Senators Alibi has won here three times.
The headgear also goes on Sualice as she attempts to end a frustrating sequence of seconds in the Mercer Hotel EBF Fillies Maiden and she has Moonlight Sapphire to beat.< Halla San cut little ice here on the opening day but goes jumping and heads the weights for the Cork International Airport Hotel Handicap Hurdle.< Prince Erik was no match for Sophocles on Friday but also reverts to the winter game, while Tony Martin and Ruby Walsh team up with Dream Champion
Martin lets Leg Spinner run off top-weight in the Tara Towers Hotel Handicap Hurdle and he will take some beating if near to the top of his game.< Red Vinto and Ah Ya Boy Ya are the main dangers, while Carl Llewellyn sends his hugely impressive Market Rasen winner Frascati Park over for the concluding Montrose Hotel (Pro/Am) INH Flat Race and he will give the home team plenty to think about.
