GOING: H(10)

MERRYLEES HOTEL 3000m

Track: HEAVY 10     Out 2m from 800m to WP & WP to 1400m, Remainder True  

The race pace looks modest and may well be messy at times as several here are not clean jumpers at all. SWEET TABOO (2) he can win this Maiden Hurdle too even though a 1000m less from a last start Maiden Steeplechase success. No wet track issues. He is the lone in form runner in this field too so should have no issues. KID WARRIOR (5) has been placed in both his starts here. Wet tracker. Top tier threat in this weak opening field. RAKANUI (7) he has run fifth in both his Hurdle runs. Trifecta and first four chance for sure. Also in R4. KEEPZ OCCURRING (6) is having his Hurdle debut here. Trifecta and first four chance in this field for sure. Tote will be telling. RED NED (4) has been not too bad this time in. Place and first four chance. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sweet Taboo is a win wager.
