STEPHANIE MURRAY MORTGAGES MAIDEN HURDLES 2500m Track: HEAVY 10 Out 6m |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
CHESTER BOY (4) was an overdue winner on the flat in his penultimate start at New Plymouth over 1400m before making his hurdling debut and being pulled up on the journey at Te Rapa 2 weeks ago. He will be better for it, and he can make amends. NIGHTREIGN (1) has some ability in this role, and he will be peaking third up from a spell. He is in the right stable to be a quick improver in this. Stick with him. LITTLE THIEF (5) makes his jumping debut from the powerful Myers stable, and he is sure to be well-schooled. Follow any positive market moves. CARIGNAN (2) finished third here when making his hurdling debut, and then battled away on the flat at Te Aroha last start. His first win in this role is not far away. AFFORDABLE (3) won at Hawera 2 starts back, and then won a jumping trial prior to his modest effort in a tougher field on the flat at Te Rapa 2 weeks ago. He is worth another chance in this. SUGGESTED PLAY: Nightreign each-way.
