AVON CITY FORD SYDENHAM HURDLES 3100m

Track: HEAVY     True  

The race pace here looks quite okay in this Open Hurdle (3100m) and some attacks will come across the top too. BERRY THE CASH (1) he is in imperious form and has won his last five runs in a row, three as a Hurdler and two on the flat. He has had eight Hurdle runs in total for five wins, two placings and a fell. Two runs here for a win in the Prestige Grand National (4200m) and a placing in this race. Looking for sixth win in a row today. LORD SPENCER (3) he has had two runs here for a Hurdle win and a Hurdle second. Trifecta and first four must. RUN JAKKO RUN (4) has had four runs as a Hurdler for two wins, two placings and a fourth. Must include. DICTATION (6) is in an astute yard and won his Maiden Hurdle narrowly but well last start. Respect this yard with any jumper. METALLO (7) has had eight Hurdle runs for a win, two seconds and a fourth. Good seconds three and four starts ago. SUGGESTED PLAY: Berry The Cash is a win wager.
