An excellent Wednesday saw both my picks at Punchestown win. In the 3.55 Adamantly Chosen challenged from the 4th leading at halfway. The 5/6 favourite was pressed from 2 out but he kept on well from the last beating Visionarian by 3 3/4 lengths. The other Grade 3 saw Galvin sit 3rd early challenging three out. The 11/10 favourite moved into a narrow lead entering the straight asserting himself before the last. He kept on well on the run-in easily beating Run Wild Fred by 5 1/2 lengths.
The week's first double header takes place on Thursday with 8 races at The Curragh and 7 at Tramore where there are two main events.
The Curragh 2.35: Irish EBF Median Sires Series Maiden.
13: American Sonja: A promising horse who was second on this course when last seen 18 days ago. That is by far the best piece of form in this field and she sets a high bar. She is more then capable of opening her account at the fourth time of asking giving her the vote.
Tramore 3.00: Irish Stallion Farms EBF Mares Maiden Hurdle.
1: Bellatior: Made a winning debut in a bumper at Naas back in November last year coming home by 3/4 of a length. She moved up to a Grade 2 at Leopardstown 3 months later but ran far too free finishing 11th. Despite that she is in top hands on her first hurdles start and with progress expected she can bounce back here.
