Verdict

GALACTICA caught the eye under a patient ride when 11th in a Thurles novice last time and this fairly useful 1m4f Flat winner is fancied to take a big step forward now going handicapping and stepped up in trip. Fox Le Bel rates the chief threat on the back of his reappearance Wexford third, with Gowran-fourth Shean Glory also not taken lightly.
