VALE BOB AUTRIDGE HURDLES 2500m Track: HEAVY 10 Out 6m |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
TUTIN CANS (1) has been placed in 2 of his 3 starts over jumps, and he needed his last start at Te Rapa when finishing fourth in a 6-horse field as the favourite when having his first hurdle start of the year. He will be a lot sharper for this, and he can make amends, so follow your money. KICK ON (9) makes his jumping debut after a solid career on the flat that included 7 wins. He hails from the powerful Kevin Myers stable, and he will be ready to run a big race here. CARIGNAN (5) had found it hard to win another race on the flat, but he had many minor placings. He is ready to go jumping now, and the market moves will be a good guide. NIGHTREIGN (2) was pulled up after mixing his jumping at Whanganui fresh up nearly 4 weeks ago, but he is worth another chance in this. Include in all top 4 combos. COCKTAIL LAD (6) makes his jumping debut, and he showed plenty of dash on the flat last season on wet tracks. If he jumps safely, then he will be right in this at the business end. SUGGESTED PLAY: Kick On each way.
