Galway Race 6 - Gra Chocolates Hcp
THEMIS (3) Spaced the field to win by a margin of 4L last start at Limerick. Unbeaten last 2 starts. Likely to settle back in the field. Worth consideration. DARIUS DARK (6) Claimed a tight victory last run at Curragh and drops back to a suitable grade. Keeping a perfect win record the last 3 runs. Will be there at the finish. MADBADANDDANGEROUS (1) Was all too good winning by 3/4L last time at Down Royal and will find this grade easier. Exhibiting good form since returning from a break. Respect in this event. SHARKEYBOY (5) Came in 5th last run at Gowran Park and up against a higher level of opposition. Displays good tactical speed. Willie P Mullins yard are on fire recently. Can win.

Bold effort to win by 3/4L last time at Down Royal and challenged by less formidable competitors. Producing consistent results this preparation. Should be in the finish.

Started at $101.00 and only fair when 8th last time at Curragh but will try to take advantage of the draw. Facing a stronger group of contenders. Dropping weight. In a lot of trouble.
