GOING: H(8)

KEN & ROGER BROWNE MEMORIAL 3900m

Track: SOFT7     Out 4m  

The race pace looks mediocre overall here in this Steeplechase field and some of the leaping looks likely to be messy at times too. TORQUE TIME (4) he has had six Steeplechase runs for a win and four placings. Include in your multiples everywhere as he can win or place. PASSWORD (3) has had four runs as a Steeplechaser for a win and two placings. Suited here for sure so a multiples must. RAUCOUS (1) is a dual winner here. Has never missed the top three as a Steeplechaser tellingly when he has completed the course. Respect such a record. HEY HAPPY (2) has had five runs as a Steeplechaser for a win, two placings and a two fourths. Include in all of your combinations no matter the footing. RENEGADE FIGHTER (6) is having his first race as a Steeplechaser. New yard now. Twice trialled so very ready to go. SUGGESTED PLAY: Raucous is a win wager.
