Stockman, Tewkesbury and Sandpiper look set to duel it out for the early lead. Tricky little race for a maiden hurdle. FARAG (4) missed by less than a length on a wet track at latest when narrowly beaten at Terang. That followed a sound effort in the listed Sandown Cup. Looks capable of taking this one out. TOPSPIN (9) drops back to maiden hurdle grade and should find things a bit easier today. Must be kept safe. STOCKMAN (7) comes through the same race at Terang as Farag which looks a key form reference for this. Can improve further into this which would put him in the mix. TEWKESBURY (8) was a near miss on the flat last time at Bm64 level and can make his presence felt over the hurdles today while it might just be worth throwing BALINOR (1) into multiples, if the track can dry out a little. SUGGESTED PLAY: Happy to back both FARAG and TOPSPIN.
