NZ - Trentham - Race 1

RED NED (3) was beaten by a head when finishing second as the favourite at his steeplechase debut at Te Rapa 2 weeks ago, and he should go one better in this. SAINT BERNARD (1) was runner-up here last time out over steeples, and even though he can have a mind of his own, he should still go close to taking this out. SUPER FLASH (2) had an excuse when making an early, poor jump here last time out, and his effort for second at Whanganui is the best guide to use. Stick with him on an each-way basis. SKAW VALLEY (6) can mix his jumping, but on his day, he is more than capable of winning a race like this. If he doesn't need another run, then he can figure in the top 3. FAKE NEWS (4) could be suited to racing over the bigger fences, and he is not the worst at odds in this.
