Galway Races Tips
the handicapper has been fair to Empirico and he was also a bit unlucky on his last two runs. I didn't quite think he'd handle that ground although he was fourth in the Rockingham here last year with a bit of cut in the ground. We'll see what the handicapper does with him . hopefully he won't be too harsh and he may come back here again for another try at the Rockingham on Oaks Day.
