TE WHANGAI ROMNEYS HAWKE'S BAY HURDLE 3100m

Track: HEAVY 10     Out 4m  

The race pace in this Prestige Hawke's Bay Hurdle (3100m) looks good with English Gambler sure to run along clear in the lead early on at least. BERRY THE CASH (1) can win four races in a row. Majestic in his last two Hurdle wins. He can still win this with 72.5kg. He is a real jumping find for sure. LORD SPENCER (3) has had eight Hurdle runs for a win and seven placings. Include everywhere as he is yet to miss paying a dividend as a Hurdler. ENGLISH GAMBLER (2) likes to lead clearly. Dual winner here. Hold your breath he gets around. SMUG (7) has had seven runs as a Hurdler for a win, three placings and a fourth in a Prestige Great Northern Hurdle (4200m). Definite chance. TAIKA (4) he has had eight runs as a Hurdler for two wins and three placings and never finished the race in other three runs. Trifecta and first four chance. SUGGESTED PLAY: Berry The Cash is a win wager.
