Hi all,
Today’s selections are from Punchestown and Wolverhampton.
Punchestown
12:00 – Indiana Jones – 5/4 – Gen – A useful enough novice hurdler, a winner at Cork 12 months ago. Bred to be a better chaser than a hurdler. The 5-year-old finished a 2 ¼ lengths 2nd of 18 to the promising Mr Incredible in a beginners’ chase at Naas on his debut over fences 17-days ago. More than capable of winning a race like this.
2:05 – I A Connect – 4/1 – Gen – The selection a winner of a good ground NH Flat race at Kilbeggan in the summer. Followed up by winning on his hurdle debut at Listowel in September. Improved further when a 2 ¾ lengths 2n of 5 to Ciel de Neige at Sligo last month and is open to further progress in the sphere.
Wolverhampton
7:30 – Qaaraat – 15/8 @ Paddy Power & Betfair Sportsbook – Seemed to bounce back to form in the reapplied cheekpieces replacing the visor, when a ¾ length 3rd of 8 over C&D 10-days ago. On a long losing run but that means the 6-year-old is now 11lb his last winning mark and 4lb below when winning this race 12 months ago. Another big performance can be expected.
Cheers
John
