SILVER FERN FARMS HURDLE 3100m Track: HEAVY 10 Out 5m |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
There is some dash in this Open Hurdle over 3100m but many of this field are out of form so it could be a messy contest. LORD SPENCER (1) has been poor for a while. However his best would win this easily. He won the Prestige Great Northern Hurdle (4200m) so has the ability. First race clockwise here interestingly. INVISIBLE SPIRIT (2) is a course winner. Better at his last couple of runs. One of three in this field from the same astute yard so be wary. GEORGIAN WARRIOR (5) he won his Hurdle debut too well here to overlook in this. Include everywhere. ATA RANGI (4) he has had three runs as a Hurdler for a win and two thirds. Multiples must in this field. JUSTICE (9) has had four runs as a Hurdler for a win, a second and a fourth. Not out of this at all. SUGGESTED PLAY: Lord Spencer is a win wager.
