Gowran Park Race 4 - Prl Group Mdn Hurdle
BRADY HARTSFIELD (2) placed attempting listed level on his second outing at Limerick but disappointed on his third career start when finishing sixth at Ayr in the spring. With a bright hurdling future ahead is one to take very seriously. BAILA CONMIGO (1) managed to place on his fourth hurdle attempt tackling a big field event at Galway last month. There is enough about him from the flat to make him of interest. Major player. ROCKY ALFONSO (10) switched stables since finishing third at Galway in a flat race last month. One to consider. HUNTIN BOOTS (5) was well backed but refused at the first on hurdle debut. Worth giving another chance.

Second-up today. Returned from a spell and in a maiden hurdle at Wexford. At only start last preparation finished fifth of 19 starters at Punchestown on April 28 over 3319m, 12 len behind Abbeyglen carrying 74.5kg at $7. Forgive first-up failure. Cannot be ruled out after that latest mishap.

The start before that; finished fifth of 13 starters at Navan on September 19 over 3218m, 6 len behind Double Helix with 71kg at $6.50. Gets a chance to win. Finds a suitable assignment and can return to winning form.
