PRESIDENTIAL HOMES MANAWATU STEEPLECHASE 4000m

Track: HEAVY 10     Out 6m  

The race pace in this Restricted Open Steeplechase (4000m) looks to be okay and several runners may have an influence on the speed or pressure here. JESKO (6) was a big winner last start in a Res Opn Stp (3800m) at Wanganui last start. Has won a Mile trial since so is primed for sure. He looks the winner again. OBRIGADO (7) has had three runs as a Steeplechaser for a win and a third. Can be in the quinella or trifecta here. AFTERALLTHISTIME (2) he has been disappointing so far this time in. Is a dual winner as a Steeplechaser. Course placed. KENTUCKY BOY (5) he has been poor so far this time in. Course placed. He is the equal youngest in this as a 7yo along with the first pick. CALL ME JACK (3) he has been placed in a Prestige Steeple too. Dual winner as a Steeplechaser. Not out of this at all. SUGGESTED PLAY: Jesko looks the winner here.
