Supersundae the Supreme Pick at Punchestown (13:22)
No prizes for subtlety here: Supersundae is our standout selection for Sunday. The W P Mullins-trained eight-year-old enters the 13:22 at Punchestown as a stunningly reliable bet at 5/8. With a confidence rating of 91% from the AI, this horse not only dominates computations but also ticks every box from a form and conditions perspective.
Supersundae's recent form is rock-solid, boasting a string of top-three finishes in comparable company. The gelding is unbeaten in his last three starts when racing over 2m 4f to 2m 5f on good-to-yielding ground. A commanding victory last month at Fairyhouse saw him quicken decisively under jockey Anna McGuinness, who retains the ride here. The partnership is four wins from six starts together in the past 12 months—a 67% strike rate worth respecting.
Trainer Willie Mullins is renowned for his Punchestown prowess, enjoying a 31% strike rate here over the last three years. With the ground said to be "good-good to yielding in places" and the gelding proven over this distance, everything points toward another winning performance. View the full Punchestown 13:22 racecard.
Big Odds, Big Potential: Arrowstock Shines at 50/1 (Navan 13:07)
If you're seeking a longshot with genuine claims, look no further than Arrowstock in the 13:07 at Navan. At a jaw-dropping 50/1, the AI's 46% confidence level may appear modest, but under closer inspection, there is some merit to the case.
The five-year-old gelding has shown hints of promise in large-field handicaps, often finishing strongly when conditions suit. Today's good ground looks ideal, and jockey Nathan Crosse may look to keep him covered up for a late burst over this five-furlong sprint. With 22 runners in this field, luck in running will be critical, but a top-three finish is not out of reach. Arrowstock could be a rewarding each-way play—check our dedicated each-way tips section.
Kinbara Firstdraft: 33/1 Outsider Worth a Punt at Perth (15:17)
The 15:17 at Perth is a 3m novice handicap chase that appears wide open, and one horse catching the eye is Kinbara Firstdraft, available at a tasty 33/1. Although AI confidence sits at 47%, this type of marathon trip could bring out a hidden spark in this seven-year-old.
Jockey D R Fox is shrewd over fences, and Kinbara Firstdraft looks the type to appreciate the test of stamina on offer. His last outing over hurdles might seem uninspiring on paper, but the step up to chasing and to three miles could be a game-changer. While he's an outsider for a reason, those looking for big-priced plays in today’s competitive races won't want to overlook this enigmatic contender.
Each-Way Fancies in Big-Field Punchestown Handicap (15:42)
The 15:42 at Punchestown offers another sizeable 18-runner field over 2m 5f 139y, and it features several horses worth consideration. Although no AI standout lands in this lineup, initial form study suggests Tornadial Force (12/1) and Quiet Finish (14/1) have the profiles of strong each-way candidates.
Quiet Finish, trained by Gordon Elliott, has been knocking on the door, while Tornadial Force looks unexposed after two promising efforts over similar trips. With extra places likely on offer, this race should be knuckled down in the full list of today's runners.
