Hamilton Race 2 - Brendan Drechsler Ecycle Solutions Hrdl
ANDY WIN (2) has established himself as one of the premier jumpers in training, producing big wins at his past 2 hurdle starts, including an emphatic 11-length romp at Warrnambool a fortnight ago. He is facing 3 other rivals, and the hat-trick beckons. ARDAKAN (3) has gone to another level this prep, following a strong runner-up performance behind the top pick with a commanding 15-length hurdle victory at Warrnambool last time out. He is the main threat to the favourite. GAMBU (4) has been kept ticking over on the flat since his last jumps appearance and was a sound third at Wodonga 15-days ago. He can finish third here as well. THE CUNNING FOX (1) has been competing on the flat at his past two outings and now returns to the jumps, and he does have a recent trial win over hurdles. He is not out of this.

Useful type. Last outing ran last at Sandown-Lakeside Bm70 on July 8 over 2125m, in the wet; 6 len behind Second Nature with 56kg at $17. The start before that; finished eighth of 14 runners at Caulfield Bm78 on June 27 over 2000m, on slow going 6 len behind Belle Savoir carrying 52.5kg at $71. Chance to bounce back to form that can win this race. Likely to figure on his return to jumping.

Useful gelding. Last run ran on from midfield to post a big 11 len win. Warrnambool Hdle-Qlty on June 28 over 3200m in the wet defeating Mr Waterville with 65kg at $2.70 in a hurdle. The run to post a big 5.5 len win. Warrnambool Bm115 Hdle on June 14 over 3200m on heavy going defeating Ardakan with 72kg at $1.70 in a jumps. Looks good enough to prevail against limited opposition.
