GOING: S

PALAMOUNTAINS ANIMAL NUTRITION OPN HDL 3000m

Track: SOFT 7     Out 4m  

The race pace is nothing out of the ordinary here in this Open Hurdle field. INTERLLECTUS (2) is yet to fire this time in but importanly is still to strike Slow or Heavy underfoot conditions. He has won two of four runs here. Win chance here for sure on wet ground. HURRY CANE (3) is proven second up and has won here before too. Main threat on wet ground for sure in this field. LOCHWINNOCH (5) handles it dry and wet. In form and has been course placed. Has superior raceday fitness to all of this field tellingly. GALILEO INVADER (4) is in a super yard for jumpers. Second up. Won his Maiden Hurdle last October on Slow ground. METALLO (6) is a wet tracker. He has run well in two of his Hurdle runs. SUGGESTED PLAY: Interllectus and Hurry Cane are win wagers.
