GOING: H(10)

WAIKATO/BOP OWNERS ASSOCIATION HURDLE 2800m

Track: HEAVY 10     True  

The race pace in this Maiden Hurdle looks to be indifferent as some of the leaping looks a tad reckless at times. HAYATE (11) tackles the jumps for the first time. Won a Hurdle trial late last month and looked a winner in waiting. Can score here. SIR MAVERICK (2) last start second beaten a nose in a Maiden Hurdle (2800m) at this track. He is a young jumper and can go one better here. BRIAN LAMONT (3) is having his Hurdle debut here. This is his second run for a new yard. Trifecta and first four chance. DOCTOR IRIS (5) fell at last start in Hurdle debut. He had won two Hurdle trials last month. Can form reverse here. MR FAHRENHEIT (1) is a definite winning chance in this field. Eight runs as a Hurdler for four placings and four fourths. SUGGESTED PLAY: Hayate can win her Hurdle debut. Sir Maverick is a young jumper with upside galore.
