P BROSNAN CONTRACTING MAIDEN HURDLE 3100m Track: HEAVY 10 True |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
MOBILIZED (8) will be making his hurdle debut after some good form on the flat. He has been well schooled, and was a narrow runner-up in a recent jumping trial at Cambridge. Hard to beat. CARIGNAN (2) has struggled to win another race, and has been placed in all of his 3 jumping starts to date. He has top 3 claims again. COCKTAIL LAD (13) has yet to fire in 2 starts over the hurdles, but he has enough pace on the flat, that if he can improve his jumping, he would be a big threat in this. HEZA WARRIOR (5) has been showing some talent in this role, and with the aid of a 3kg claim, he can figure in the top 4. KAMAAL (15) could be one at bolter's odds to throw into all combos, just to be safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Cocktail Lad each way.
