One bet, one winner with Operating doing the business for us at Punchestown yesterday.
2.40 Newmarket Stepper Point 1pt each-way AND 2pts win @ 16/1 (Generally guaranteed)
Went off far too fast last time out in a race loaded with pace, ultimately won by Alben Star. Reverts to his optimum five on fast turf here and I don't have him far off the best of these on ratings. 16/1 is too big.
3.00 Thirsk Trade Secret 1pt each-way AND 2pts win @ 16/1 (Stan James, Betpack.com, guaranteed, 14/1 generally guaranteed)
Bolted up over six furlongs here on his penultimate start, finishing really strongly. Has never won over seven furlongs, but he is a course specialist who still looks quite well handicapped and might be worth another try at the distance. 12/1+ is too big.
3.30 Goodwood Jiroft 1pt each-way AND 2pts win @ 14/1 (Generally guaranteed)
Has form on downhill courses and handles ground with some cut in it. Beginning to look well treated, and Robert Cowell's string seem to be hitting form. Too big at anything in double figures.
3.40 Thirsk Fort Bastion 4pts win @ 10/1 (Bet Victor, guaranteed, 9/1 generally guaranteed) - WON
Ruth Carr's string are in good form now and Fort Bastion is taken to give her a big race success. The selection shaped with plenty of promise last time out, and will enjoy this big field over a strongly run mile. His draw isn't too bad and I thought he'd be a shorter price. We'll play win only, with the shape of the race not offering much in the way of place value.
Profit & loss: day: +28.00 / month: +159.60 / year: +246.85
