Weekend tips: Grace To Grace should take all the beating in Galway Festival finale
Day six in Galway and Grace To Grace can take the finale, the McDonogh Capital Investments Handicap, for Joseph O’Brien. On her most recent outing, the four-year-old was quite well backed for the Ladies’ Derby but did not enjoy the clearest of runs and eventually had to settle for seventh place behind Princess Zoe.
She is better than the bare result and, being a winner over today’s course and distance on testing ground in October, she has much in her favour and will take beating. Dark Voyager, who was runner-up to the well-handicapped Flying Scotsman here on Monday, looks the most obvious danger. He has gone up 4lbs for that effort but remained well treated, has a good draw and should go very close.
