Galway failure Diman can go one better

DIMAN, a costly failure at Galway last week, can redress the balance in the one mile Maiden at Gowran Park this evening.

Dermot Weld’s gelding was backed as if defeat was out of the question at Ballybrit, but went down by three parts of a length to Yellow Ridge.

The form is ordinary, so it mightn’t pay to get too excited. Nevertheless, there are sound reasons for believing the selection capable of going one better. He was, for instance, unable to gain a clear passage on the approach to the straight and the winner got first run on him. Add in the fact Diman is entitled to come on plenty for the experience and will be well suited to stepping up an extra furlong.
