GOING: S

Ecycle Hurdle 3500m

Track: SOFT 6   Rain (Max: 13)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.57).  

TEOFILO STAR (5) fell at $1.20 at his seasonal jumps return at Warrnambool and has had a couple of flat runs since. He looked to jump fine at his latest trial and he's the class jumper of this field. Expecting he bounces back. BAZINI (9) has only had one jumps run to date when scoring a maiden hurdle at Warrnambool. More depth here but looks handy and can measure up. EL DIEZ (2) is racing well with a win and two placings from the last three starts and is always a chance around this level. THAT'S INCRANIBULL (10) is also in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Teofilo Star to win.
