Sovereign Resort Galleywood Hurdle 3200m Track: SOFT 7 Clouds (Max: 15) Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.96). |
||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Open edition of the Galleywood. THE MIGHTY SPAR (10) might be an improver. His Australian debut he started $2.40 favourite at Pakenham and whilst beaten, he wasn't beaten far at all and can improve. CHAINS OF HONOUR (12) has only had three jumps starts to date. Was second in a recent trial and must respect the Maher yard. RISING RENOWN (6) is coming off a hurdle win at Ballarat. Started $12 there but won it well and must be included. PORT GUILLAUME (11) gets back over the jumps now and can figure. SUGGESTED PLAY: The Mighty Spar on top.
