On Saturday at Punchestown my selection Salsaretta didn't have a good day. The 5/1 shot was up with the leaders until she unfortunately fell at the 1st fence. After just over 2 miles the race was won by Daly Tiger the 22/1 chance was 4 1/2 lengths in front.
The weekend ends with just the one meeting an 8 race card at Punchestown,there should have been racing at Cork as well but a 7 race card was called off on Friday after severe flooding left parts of the course submerged in water. The meeting has been rescheduled for next Sunday November 22nd.
The big race of the day is at 2.10 when only 5 begin the Unibet Morgiana Hurdle. Out of the small field 2 should dominate,Saint Roi is the standout he comes here looking for his 4th win in a row his last victory was at Tipperary 42 days ago where he didn't need to be at his best to come home by 5 1/2 lengths and he is the one to beat. The other strong horse is Abacadabras who was a respectable 2nd in the WKD Hurdle at Down Royal 16 days ago he needs to pick up some pace but he is the main challenger. The pick of the others is Jason The Militant who is a smart hurdler and was third in that same WKD hurdle at the end of October his form before that saw him win at Fairyhouse and Naas so he definitely shouldn't be ruled out.
Big race prediction: 4: Saint Roi.
