Punchestown Race 4 - Premiere Weekend Race & Dine Packages From 75 Euros Nursery Hcp
WECOULDAVEHADITALL (3) placed third two back on handicap debut over 1600m at Naas. Failed to follow up when sixth in a Killarney maiden last time. Can bounce back. MELCHIZEDEK (1) makes handicap bow on the back of three unplaced efforts including finishing fifth in a 1700m maiden at Thurles on latest appearance. Improvement expected. DARLENE (7) could only manage sixth contesting a 1400m maiden at The Curragh last time. Worth considering in a modest race. MISS CORNELIA (5) is another racing first-up in open company. Only eleventh tackling a 1600m maiden at Cork last time out. More required but can't dismiss eantirely.

Last start 4th of 7 at Leopardstown on October 17 over 1609m, 2.5 len behind City Of Gold carrying 52kg at $17. Before that 5th of 7 at Listowel on September 22 over 1609m, 5.5 len behind Letmeentertainyou with 56kg at $11. Certainly worth another chance.

Most recently ran last of 13 at Dundalk All Weather on October 16 over 1408m, 18 len behind Heart Of You with 57kg at $17. The run before that 3rd of 10 at Curragh on September 27 over 1408m, in the wet; 6 len behind Moon Sand carrying 58kg at $19. Hard to see him winning this with form like that.
