Punchestown Race 5 - Premiere Weekend Two-Day Ticket Just 35 Euros Mdn
ORACLE OF DELPHI (11) stepped up to take a 1.25L third on second outing in a Navan maiden only eight days ago. Leading fancy with further progress anticipated. SPACEBOUND (1) finished thereabouts on all five starts this year without success. Beaten 5.75L fourth in a 1600m handicap latest three weeks ago. Hood now applied. Can find a race of this nature. TIDE OF FORTUNE (7) was well supported when coming a neck second in a 1300m Curragh maiden two back. Very underwhelming as favourite subsequently. Can atone now up in journey. SALIBA (4) filled the runner-up spot at Roscommon (2100m) latest. Dropping in trip. Won't be far away.

Second run back. First-up after three months 4th of 16 at Curragh on October 4 over 1609m, on a slow track; 6 len behind Blue Blue Moon with 63kg at $3.50. Previously second-up 4th of 15 at Limerick on April 25 over 1609m, 3 len behind Queen Lioness carrying 61kg at $2.10. Likely improver with strong prospects.

Third race start today. At very big odds at debut, 13th of 15 at Leopardstown on October 18 over 1810m, 37 len behind Vico Road carrying 56kg at $301. Second-up 10th of 13 at Navan on October 21 over 1408m, 18 len behind Wynette with 56kg at $251. Can't see her breaking through for the maiden win this time.
