Punchestown Ladies Day racing tips as Day 4 kicks off in style
Friday is Ladies Day at Punchestown and we are marking your card
We've picked out some of the best horses to back on Day 4, Ladies Day, at Punchestown on Friday.
4.15pm - Tactical Move (9/2) is worth your tenner here. He has good form with Spillane's Tower who won earlier in the week and could be good enough here.
4.50pm - The Mare's chase will be a popular betting heat on Ladies Day and Instit (7/1) is the one I'm with here. She has been runner-up at Punchestown at the last two festivals and is hopefully reignited by the track after a poor run in Cheltenham.
5.15pm - Some horses just really like Punchestown and can underwhelm punters everywhere else. Vaucelet (10/1) could be one of those here. He's been second in this the last two year's, beaten last year by the reopposing It's On The Line. That one has had quite a lot of runs recently, so maybe the fresher Vaucelet can take advantage.
6.35pm - Lark In The Mornin (2/1) was very good when winning at Cheltenham and still looks well treated for a race like this. Joseph O'Brien trains and has already been in the winner's enclosure this week.
Elsewhere, State Man and Ballyburn look like bankers but are too short to have a sensible bet on. I fancy Predators Gold to chase Ballyburn home in second in their clash at 6.35pm. You can get odds of 7/4 for a Ballyburn/Predators Gold forecast, so for Ballyburn to win and Predators Gold to finish second. That might be worth a few quid.
