Race 2 - HOSPITALITY NZ CBRY 135TH GRAND NATIONAL HURDLES

What a gutsy run in the Winter Cup last week. If it had run straight over the last 2100m, who knows, it might have won. Drops back 200m today and in-form apprentice brings the claim
Main Danger
4 Master Marko

It was well backed in the Winter Cup last week and ran well accordingly, despite coming out of a wide gate, and was just two lengths off Who Knows. Rails draw today gives it a chance and makes it the value bet for us

F: 41212B(4)W(55.5)
( J-Kate Hercock )
( T-Niall Quinn )
A progressive mare that runs well from 1600m to 2200m , so this 1800m might be just perfect. Gutsy run in the Winter Cup last week and entitled to be a warm favourite on the back of that
