DARYL HURLEY ACTION MOTO "GARRY PHILLIPS" MAIDEN HURDLE 2800m

Track: GOOD4     True  

The race pace here looks to be New York Jazz with his natural flat dash sure to be the key ingredient. NEW YORK JAZZ (6) he has his raceday Hurdle debut here. Third in a Hurdle trial earlier this month. Natural leader here for sure with his sprinter dash. Can win if he runs out the trip here. RUN JAKKO RUN (9) was third in his only Hurdle run last year as favourite. Big chance after two flat runs this time in. PONTARDAWE (8) was pulled up in his lone Hurdle outing last year. Eachway here. CHANCELLOR (2) has his Hurdle debut here. Has won his last two Hurdle trials very well. Include everywhere. HOME RULE (3) having his first run over Hurdles here but has had two flat runs to get fit. Tote will tell you for sure. Expect backing. SUGGESTED PLAY: New York Jazz and Run Jakko Run are win wagers.
