THE BOTTLE-O TE AROHA HURDLES 3100m Track: HEAVY 9 Out 5.5m |

The race pace looks okay in this Open Hurdle event over 3100m. HELENA BABY (6) was far too good when resuming from a layoff, scoring by 7 lengths in a Mdn Hdl (3100m) at this track in what was his jumping debut. Grade 1 placegetter on the flat. Looks a real find as a leaper and impossible to see beaten. INVISIBLE SPIRIT (1) has a good Hurdle record overall and will be a threat here. METALLO (2) runner up at last start to the second pick here. Place and first four chance for sure. JAKAMA KRYSTAL (7) is a dual winner as a Hurdler. Poor at last start but better than that. GALILEO INVADER (5) has had six Hurdle runs for a win and two fourths. Place or first four here at best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Helena Baby is a win wager.
