Quevaga Just Champion in Punchestown Feature

A meeting which has seen Willie Mullins sweep all before him could be about to get even better as star mare Quevaga lines up for Punchestown’s Champion Hurdle at 5:30pm.

The run away winner of the David Nicholson Mares’ Hurlde at the Cheltenham Festival steps up to tackle Champion Hurdle winner Punjabi on home turf.

The sparkling form of her stable (who literally can do know wrong at this meeting so far) allied to her 5lb Mares allowance together with her ability to hand testing under foot conditions means she looks a cracking bet at 2/1at Totesport.

Don’t forget the line of form from Auteuil last Summer which places her very close together with Hurricane Fly, now as short as 3/1 favourite for the 2010 Champion Hurdle.

Meanwhile, at Lingfield, get on the much improved Sehoy at 2/1 with ladbrokes in the ‘lucky last’ at 5:35.

Go Native the Tip for Day One of the Punchestown Festival

It is a day for punters to savour on Day One of the Punchestown Festival and it is difficult to envisage defeat for Master Minded or Cooldine in their respective races but in the Evening Herald Champion Novices Hurdle at 4:20 it could pay to take a chance on Noel Meade’s Go Native. A course and distance winner that created a big impression when chasing home Hurricane Fly at Leopardstown at Christmas, before going on to capture Cheltenham’s Supreme Novices Hurdle.

This afternoon in a fast run race, Go Native can give the odds on favourite plenty to think about at odds of 7/2 generally available but Bet365 and Boylesports are both Best Odds Guaranteed on this race.

Punchestown Festival Tips

Past Punchestown Festival winners know the Punchestown Racecourse extremely well and have proved they have what it takes to stay the course and come out ahead. So immediately punters should consider any 2008 winners who will be in action again in 2009. Particularly if they have a touch of class about them. An examples of these would be Neptune Collonges, Blazing Bailey, Twist magic and Punjabi. If any of these run this year then they should be closely watched.

To find a winner at Punchestown with the best good odds, punters should look for potential champion horses that have underperformed in races prior to the one you intend to make your bet. Recent good form doesn’t always indicate a likely position or win at the Punchestown Festival.

There are many winners who have been poor prior to the Festival but have found their form – this is often due to the course being popular with some horse and not others. It is therefore wise to look for horses with good previous Punchestown form.

If you allow the betting of a race decide the likely winner – and many do, make sure selection is based on whether or not the horse has a top jockey on board. Top jockeys and trainer usually have a great record at the Cheltenham Festival also.
