The race pace here looks not too bad at all in this Prestige Open Hurdle over 3200m for large portions of it too. VERRY FLASH (5) has been racing well. Saluted two starts back in an Open Hurdle (3000m) at Wanganui then wasn't disgraced last time, beaten just one length into second in an Open Hurdle (2500m) at Trentham. Big chance here. LORD SPENCER (2) has been disappointing of late but has a good record as a Hurdler overall. Course proven. Include everywhere. TAIKA (1) was a good winner at last start. Has won three times on the track. Each-way. DICTATION (6) is a trifecta and first four must. Has had seven runs as a Hurdler for three wins, three placings and a lost rider. Trifecta and first four must. MONT VENTOUX (3) he has won third up before. Can pay a dividend or be first four in this field. SUGGESTED PLAY: Verry Flash looks the logical winner. Lord Spencer is the biggest danger at his best.
