KEN & ROGER BROWNE MEMORIAL 3900m

Track: HEAVY 10     True  

The race pace here looks a bit sketchy much like some of the leaping will be here in this Maiden Steeplechase over 3900m. COUNTRYMAN (4) has run two good placings this time in and one of them came right here. Looks the winner in this Maiden Steeplechase over the 3900m. CATCH AND RELEASE (1) lost the rider at last start. Won a Maiden Hurdle in prior start here by a nostril. Top tier must in this particular line up. ZEEFA ZED (2) lost the rider at last start. He has been twice placed here. Definite chance in this field to pay a dividend or be first four at least. MUSE (6) she has been course placed. Her lone Steeplechase placing was very distant. Not the absolute worst here for bettors. FABULOUS NANCY (7) is a definite improver on a distant fourth fresh up. In the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Countryman is the expected winner.
