INTOWIN.CO.NZ MAIDEN HURDLES 2500m

Track: HEAVY 10     Out 6m  

The race pace in this Maiden Hurdle event over 2500m looks to be bar a couple of runners a very messy race as so many here are having their first look over the fences. YOLO (9) ran a sound second at last start over the Hurdles. He leaps clean enough and can outstay and out jump this lot. COUNTRYMAN (1) super fresh up third at Hurdles debut. He looks a jumps winner in waiting and he too looks a mistake free leaper in this line up. SKAW VALLEY (6) resumes for a new stable here and it is a very astute jumping yard. The tote will definitely tell you so be very alert. ALL IN BLACKBERRY (10) has had four Hurdle runs for a third and a fourth. Looks a place and first four hope in this field. CARMENERE (2) he is yet to even officially trial over the fences. Be a tad tote wary with this gelding. SUGGESTED PLAY: Yolo and Countryman look the two best jumpers in this Maiden field.
