Galway Race 3 - Connolly's Red Mills Irish Ebf Auction & Median Mdn Hurdle
COOLISHAEL (1) Was competitive when 2nd last time in a hurdle at Listowel and honest performer putting a tidy record together. Should race on the speed. In the mix. JURY TIME (10) First up from a spell of 32 weeks. Came in 3rd last time at Limerick and solid career start. Suitably placed in this race. GIVE IT A CRACK (9) Amongst the placegetters when 3rd last run in a hurdle at Listowel and fitter for debut run. Should go close. IF YOU BELIEVE (4) Back from a spell of 50 weeks. Just short of the win last run in a hurdle at Clonmel. Likely to fill a place.

Resumes from a break of 42 weeks. Didn't finish in a hurdle at Limerick on Dec 29th but was on debut last time. The large claim from Anna Mcguinness helps. Not likely to pull off the victory.
