GOING: S(6)

Ecycle Solutions 1JW Hurdle 3200m

Track: SOFT 6   Clouds (Max: 29)   Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

ROAD RUNNER (5) resumes gelded for a top barn and brings encouraging from NZ. Won a Maiden hurdle two back and won a recent Ballarat hurdle trial by a space. Promising and is ready to go. POINT NEPEAN (1) resumes for the in-form Jackson yard and jumps well. Looked good in his most recent trial, and he's likely to race well. NOONDAY GUN (4) is in good hands and won his only hurdle start by a space. Has prepared for this with a 3L hurdle trial win and Ballarat and is sure to race well. DASHING WILLOUGHBY (2) is a capable jumper who needed the first-up flat run following a long break. He should be around the mark. SERENADE THE STARS (3) won't be far away. SUGGESTED PLAY: Road Runner appeals on what we've seen.
