Super Nick, Lamanver Homerun and Pride of Dulcote look the three to concentrate on in this novice hurdle and the vote is given to Lamanver Homerun. The selection was a fair fifth behind Karello Bay when last seen looks sure to improve for the step up in trip and in receipt of all the mares allowances she looks the one to be on. Super Nick rates the main danger as he won well last time out when beating Coorbawn Vic with plenty in hand. However he will do well to give weight and a beating to the selection and at likely odds he is taken on. Pride of Dulcote has ran with promise in the past and is another that will be suited by the step up in trip but the suspicion is he will be seen to better effect in a handicap. Agoodun was fourth behind Matuhi last time and is another with place claims while Morenito is from a shrewd yard and is worth a cautionary look in the market but Lamanver Homerun is our idea of the winner.
