GOING: S

Michelin Service Centre Warrnambool BM120 Steeplechase 3450m

Track: SOFT 6   Clear (Max: 13)   Rail: Out 6m Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.69).  

LEADERBOARD (2) is a former Kiwi who brings strong hurdles form. He's a listed winner on the flat and has had a soft steeples trial since last seen. Peaks and will take beating. HUNTLY CASTLE (5) won a Maiden hurdle three back by a space beating the above home. Plainer since then but brings a tidy recent steeple trial and can go on a lot better. CUSTOM OF THE SEA (3) is in the premier barn and has trialled twice since last seen. He's been disappointing despite positive market support. Might be the one to surprise. THAT'S INCRANIBULL (7) is also in good hands and can't be ruled out. TOLEMAC (1) is also worth consideration. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Leaderboard.
