Race Tip

Lay-off last start successfully (2m) at Terang with this rider Steven Pateman aboard Boasts strong second-up stats and looks perfectly placed to add to his record. Fitter and will be tough to beat. THE STORYTELLER (4) was popular with punters and produced a nice effort last time out when he scored on his jumps debut in a hurdle (2m) at Terang. Can get the job done again. KARBURAN (3) got the prize in a hurdle (2m) at this track two runs ago then wasn't a factor when beaten 14 lengths into fourth most recently (2m) at Terang. Should be thereabouts. ARDAKAN (6) is taking on the jumps for a second time after finding one better at his first attempt in a hurdle (2m) at Terang nearly three weeks ago, beaten 3. 5 lengths. Quality flat performer prior to the transition to jumping. Can improve further and is among the chances.
