The best performance on Wednesday at Punchestown came in the Grade 3 where Brandy Love finished 3rd. The 6/4 shot tracked the leaders sitting 3rd at halfway. She was 2nd two out but after a mistake at the last she made no impression dropping to 3rd close to home, Queens Brook won the race beating Anna Bunina by 4 1/2 lengths. In the earlier race Faulty failed to finish. The 11/8 favourite was still in with a chance when he stumbled and slipped up entering the straight, the race was won by the surprise 66/1 shot Connors Cross who beat Easy Fella by 3 1/4 lengths.
We move on to Thurles on Thursday were on a 7 race card two stand out.
2.30: Thurles Racecourse (Q.R.) Handicap Chase.
5: Johngus: A decent point winner who after finishing 2nd at Limerick in December saw his jumping issues return when 5th in a hunters chase at Clonmel when last seen 37 days ago. Despite this he tops the shortlist here off a reduced mark and he can pick up his first rules success just giving him the nod.
3.40: Markaye Contacts Ltd Michael Purcell Memorial Novice Hurdle ( Grade 3)
2: Sa Fureur: A promising horse who picked up his career best win at Punchestown just over 3 weeks ago. He kept on the best in the final 100 yards coming home by 1/2 a length. With his trainer in good form and further progress expected he is the pick here as he aims to complete a hat-trick.
