Our winner on Wednesday at Punchestown was Crecora Hills. The 6/5 favourite was 3rd at halfway making progress to lead 2 out, she came under strong pressure before the last but kept on well on the run-in beating Sophia Rose by 5 1/2 lengths. The days other pick Mojoe was 3rd in a race won by James The Brave who beat Lough Nigara by a neck.
There are 7 races at Thurles on Thursday with 2 standing out.
1.07: Horse & Jockey Beginners Chase.
6: Salvator Mundi: A smart horse who's last win came in a Grade 1 Novice Hurdle at Aintree. He was 2nd on chase debut on this course back in November before going on to finish 6th behind Romeo Coolio in the Racing Post Novices Chase at Leopardstown 41 days ago. That was a decent run considering it was in a Grade 1 and he should open his chase account here in these calmer waters.
3.27: Thurles Rated Novice Hurdle.
4: Gin Tonic: A good horse who won on debut at Wexford then showed improvement finishing second at Fairyhouse when last seen in November. He made progress from 2 out soon taking 2nd keeping on well on the run-in. He returns here after a break and can go one better.
