GOING: H

Victory Treadmills Maiden Steeplechase 3200m

Track: Heavy 8   Clouds (Max: 12)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 6.77)  

PRISMATIC (9) has been racing well with some big weights of late, just finding one better at his past couple over these bigger fences. Back to 3200m should be fine and he gets in better at the set weights here. CUSTOM OF THE SEA (4) was well backed as a $3 chance in the same race as Prismatic at Casterton last time when struggling. He was also behind Prismatic two back but not beaten far. Should be right there again. ROAD RUNNER (10) is a progressive jumper who is lightly raced, trying hard over the hurdles at Casterton last time. Over the bigger fences now and has to be considered. ALAKAHAN (1) was eased out of the race when in the market last time and could be an improver while FABALOT (6) is consistent and should be around the mark. SUGGESTED PLAY: Prismatic to win.
