GOING: H(10)

HONOURING WEST COAST 2500m

Track:     Out 6m  

KICK ON (1) tried hard when finishing second as a warm favourite here 17 days ago. He is a very accomplished performer on the flat, and with that experience under his belt, he can set the record straight with a win here. DOCTOR LIVINGSTONE (2) got a long way back and ran on strongly to finish fourth here last start when having his first start in this role. He is peaking at the right time, and he is good enough to take this out. Each way. SCOTTY (3) has been showing some promise in this jumping role, and he will be having his third run over hurdles. He is nicely placed after a 3kg claim, and he should pick up his first win at short notice. BENJAMIN (4) resumes from a spell for his hurdle debut, and he is in the right stable to make an immediate impact. SANDY LANE (7) makes her jumping debut, and a recent hurdle trial indicates that she has some talent in this role. She is in good hands, and can't be risked at some top 4 value. SUGGESTED PLAY: Doctor Livingstone each way.
