SHAMROCK HILLS STEEPLECHASE 4000m Track: HEAVY 10 True |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
RUN JAKKO RUN (1) will be backing up quickly from a fifth-place finish in a far tougher field at Te Aroha last week. He won here before that with 66kg to carry, and an extra 3kg should not be enough to stop him from going close to taking this out. NAME THE GAME (2) bolted in when winning his maiden steeplechase here 3 weeks ago. He has a good rhythm when jumping, and looks like he can take the next step fairly quickly, so stick with him. INVISIBLE SPIRIT (4) has been below his best over the hurdles recently, and he is now more suited to the bigger fences. He is rock hard fit and will be among the hardest to beat. SAINT BERNARD (3) has plenty of ability, but also has just as many tricks to his game. If the right horse turns up, then he is not out of this. Can win. FABULOUS NANCY (7) was game runner-up last start, but those runs a few and far between. If she can jump safely, then she won't be far away. Include in all combinations. SUGGESTED PLAY: Run Jakko Run to be hard to beat, and Saint Bernard if you want to take a risk.
