Galway Race 7

Gerry Coyne Memorial (C & G) (Pro/Am) Flat Race

Stake: $24,323

BRAVEMANS CALL (3) made a pleasing return when runner-up over 3218m at Listowel last time beaten just 0.5L after travelling prominently around the turn. Finds a suitable opportunity and looks ready to win. BALLYADAM STAR (1) has been absent since finishing fifth on debut trying 3319m at Punchestown. Should benefit from that experience. MARBLE HILL (6) resumes for Gavin Cromwell after six months away. Scored last campaign trying 3419m at Bellewstown. Might feature again. TODO BIEN (10) returns after a six-month break having finished sixth tackling 3520m at Down Royal last time beaten 21L. Best form gives him a chance.
