Latin Quarter Steeplechase 2010 - Day Two Race Two
This Steeplechase over 2m 6f is always a cracking race with a top field as the second race on the card for Day Two of the 2010 Galway Festival, it brough a good winner in Natal last year who has gone onto to bigger things since. It will be a stamina test over this distance but the ground is likely to be decent and it should be one of the highlights on the card today.
There are a number of runners in the race with a real chance this year with Natal being well backed at the moment, Denis O'Regan will be on board for this one and he should the class to go well. Barry Geraghty will be on board Invisible Man and it would be no surprise to see Geraghty cross the line first on his mount.
