Wexford
Fri 28th Aug

Formscan By Gary Carson - This looks like a good opportunity for GAME POINT (4) to gain an overdue win. Ray Cody’s charge has been placed nine times both on the Flat and over hurdles, most recently when third over timber here last month. A bad mistake ended his chances then and with a clear round now he should prove hard to beat. Faerie Tales ran well on her hurdling debut at Tramore just over two weeks ago when third to Johnny Rambo at a massive price. She could prove the danger now. Sonas was well beaten on her debut here earlier in the month but may improve a bit from that experience and could get closer now.
