PIAKO RURAL SERVICES STEEPLECHASE 3500m Track: HEAVY 9 Out 5.5m |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
The race pace in this Open Steeplechase looks not too bad at all though this field has just one 6yo and the rest are aged as an 8yo (3), a 9yo (1) a 10yo (2) up to and including 11yo (2). HEY HAPPY (3) has a good record as a Steeplechaser. Course placed. Win chance here for sure on dry or wet ground. TE KAHU (1) is a triple track winner. Twelve runs as a Steeplechaser for three wins, six placings and a fourth. His best can win this for sure. INTERLLECTUS (5) he is up to being top three here without a doubt. Easier here than last start. Quinella and trifecta must for all your multiples. AULD JOCK (7) is proven as a Steeplechaser and a Hurdler in last two winning runs. Respect. He is the youngest jumper here substantially. Also in R3. SUPER SPIRIT (9) is a class riser. Not out of this for a place or the first four. SUGGESTED PLAY: Hey Happy and Interllectus are win wagers.
