Punchestown Race 5 - Race & Stay At Punchestown Champion I.n.h. Flat Race (Grade 1)

BAMBINO FEVER (6) remains unbeaten following victories at the Dublin Racing Festival and last month at the Cheltenham Festival (UK) when 1.5L clear attempting the 3200m G1 Champion Bumper (jumpers flat race). Top selection. COLCANNON (2) bids for a hat-trick following a 1.5L success among G2 company at Leopardstown during February. Rates highly. COPACABANA (3) produced a winning debut at Navan before a Cheltenham tenth behind the main pick. Improvement expected. Course winner KALYPSO'CHANCE (4) might feature.

Had two starts to date. When well in the market at debut, scored a big 5 len win at Navan February 9 over 3118m defeating Burrows Drive with 76kg at $3.30. Second-up 10th of 17 at Cheltenham in the G1 Champion Bumper on March 12 over 3298m, 10 len behind Bambino Fever carrying 73kg at $5.50. Useful type and can make amends.

Second-up. Comes off a 49-day let-up. First-up after three months 11th of 17 at Cheltenham in the G1 Champion Bumper on March 12 over 3298m, 10 len behind Bambino Fever carrying 73kg at $3.50. Previously second-up favourite; scored a big 4.5 len win at Navan LR December 15 over 3218m defeating Heads Up carrying 74.5kg at $2.30. Certainly worth following up.

Useful mare. At the latest run scored a big 6 len win at Fairyhouse LR April 6 over 3218m defeating Carrigmoornaspruce carrying 73kg at $4. The run before that won by 1.5 len at Naas March 9 over 3218m on a rain affected track defeating Shadys Lady carrying 72.5kg at $1.80. In form and worth following up.
