Best Bets of the Day!!

Well Ruby had 2 winners and a 4th placing on the first day of Punchestown.

COOLDINE was very disappointing but was obviously over the top after a long season.

HURRICANE FLY on the other hand was a fresh horse,a most impressive winner and obviously a lack of a prep run was not a problem.
This horse is destined for the top and has been backed into favouritism for the CHAMPION HURDLE at Cheltenham.

Trainer Willie Mullins said of the horse,
"I think we will concentrate on Cheltenham and the Champion Hurdle next year, and I might just put him away now.
I couldn't believe how well he worked (before Punchestown). Coming back off a troubled preparation like that we were bit worried if he would be right, but he has come back better than he ever was before."

MASTER MINDED did indeed win, but not by much. Maybe his odds will drift a little for the Queen Mother chase at Cheltenham.

PUNCHESTOWN - Day 2

I am staying with Ruby and Willy Mullins today and they appear to have 3 or 4 decent e/w chances.

4.20 COFFEE TEA OR ME

4.55 PALACE MERANO

6.40 J'Y VOLE

7.15 JAYO

6 x 1pt e/w doubles.

5.30 DUNGUIB won the Cheltenham bumper and has been awarded the highest rating ever for a Bumper horse, higher even than that awarded to COUSIN VINNY who won both races last year.
But at the odds it may be worth backing SICILIAN SECRET and UNIVERSAL TRUTH e/w.

6.05 NOTRE PERE looks to have a good chance in the soft going, along with IMPERIAL COMMANDER whose trainer says 'we go here confidently expecting a big run'.

BE LUCKY!!
