Galway Races Tips
Pat said she was in front too long at Leopardstown the last day, so the plan was to get a lead. I was a bit apprehensive about running on this tight track with such a big mare but you have to go where the races are. She could go for the Grade 3 mares hurdle at Punchestown, although that may be a bit too hot for her and she could go for a winners-of-one instead.
