GOING: S

Western District Agricentre Maiden Hurdle 3200m

Track: SOFT 6   Clear (Max: 14)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.73).  

PEARL RAIN (8) made her jumps debut at this track and distance when second to the smart Irish Butterfly, beaten 3.5 lengths when well supported in betting. She'll be better for that outing and can go one better. WILEWINK (7) was just behind Peal Rain last time and did start favourite on that occasion, his 3rd jumps attempt. A win looks close, keep very safe. HIT THE ROAD JACK (3) is making his jumps debut here. His flat form reads well and he must be respected for the top yard. SUFFOLK STAR (6) is making his jumps debut and can run well. BUOYANT (2) next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Pearl Rain.
