Choices Flooring Warrnambool Maiden Hurdle 3200m

Track: SOFT6   Rain (Max: 15)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.53)  

SING FOR PEACE (7) has had a few chances over the hurdles but has shown promise, placing in all four attempts to date. Comes here off a solid fifth at Sandown Lakeside on the flat and his experience with Pateman aboard, he should go close. TEEWATERS (8) did well on his jumps debut at Ballarat when beaten 1.5 lengths into second. Better for that, should take beating. ENCHANTED ELLE (10) wasn't beaten far at her only jumps start to date. She's been given a few flat runs to prepare but looked healthy when third in a recent trial at Terang. Must respect trainer/jockey combination. MANA COMBAT (5) resumes and makes his jumps debut. Betting best guide for the stable. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sing For Peace to win.
