Forecasts

Lake Takapuna (3/1), Roachdale House (11/2), Serious Ego (11/2), Iknowwhereiamnow (7/1), Whatsinthecorner (7/1), Just A Normal Day (7/1), De Mazzaro (8/1), Bold Emperor (9/1), Banjo (25/1)

Verdict

LAKE TAKAPUNA won a Tipperary maiden hurdle over this trip over 12 months ago and the gelding can add to that win here. The Dermot Weld yard are in good form right now and his eight-year-old can take advantage of his low hurdle mark to see off the potential challenge coming from the top weight and Gordon Elliott-trained, Serious Ego. In a competitive contest Bold Emperor, in first-time cheekpieces and Just A Normal Day look more than capable of hitting the frame.
  1. Lake Takapuna
  2. Serious Ego
  3. Just A Normal Day
