GOING: S(5)

Adam Lindsay Gordon 0 - 114 Hurdle 3300m

Track: SOFT 5     Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.80)  

HIT THE ROAD JACK (2) has been tackling strong hurdle races of late, behind subsequent Grand National winner Highland Blaze last time out. Form around Noonday Gun and Sing For Peace prior also reads well and he should get his chance with Pateman booked. CUSTOM OF THE SEA (1) ran well in a similar race last time out at Hamilton, boxing on well for third. Will be up on the speed and giving a sight. SOUTHERN STOCK (4) ran a solid race on his jumping debut in a good maiden hurdle. Is up in grade here but is open to plenty of improvement. KING FRANKEL (3) was given a good chance by the market at his jumps debut at Hamilton but lost the rider. He's had a trial since and could do much better. MR ZED (5) next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Hit The Road Jack to win.
