KEN DUNCAN RACING MDN HDL 3000m

Track: SOFT 7     Out 4m  

The race pace looks modest at best here in this Maiden Hurdle field as mistakes will happen for sure. SUPER FLASH (2) is fitter for a fresh-up flat run that was not too bad. Placed in one of two Hurdle runs. Top tier must here on wet ground. KENTUCKY BOY (1) was not too bad fresh up on the flat. Hurdle placed second up last campaign. Twice placed as a Hurdler overall. He is a win chance here. CATCH AND RELEASE (6) was poor in lone Hurdle start second up last year. Fitter now. Chance. SWEET TABOO (3) all of her three placings have come over the Hurdles. Include everywhere here. CALL ME JACK (5) is in an astute jumping yard so cannot be risked. Course proven on the flat. One of three in this yard from the same astute yard. SUGGESTED PLAY: Super Flash and Kentucky Boy are win wagers.
