GOING: G(4)

FIRST ALUMINIUM HAWERA 3050m

Track: GOOD     True  

The race pace looks marginal early on in this Restricted Open Steeplechase but will warm up for the final third or so. INTERLLECTUS (1) first up for almost a year but he is a talented jumper. Fresh up eighth on the flat over 1650m midweek. Proven second up. Has a good record as a jumper and can win this for sure. HEY HAPPY (2) is a dual winner third up. Threat now over the jumps. TORQUE TIME (3) has been poor so far this time in on the flat. Dual winner third up. Chance now over the fences. AFTERALLTHISTIME (4) has been placed in only Steeplechase run here. Threat here. KHAFEEF (5) is proven third up. Dual course winner. Cannot be omitted. SUGGESTED PLAY: Interllectus and Hey Happy are win wagers.
