Verdict

LUVYA MUMMA (14) turned in an eye-catching run last time when she kept coming to finish sixth at Cranbourne. That followed a string of second placings and the stable has a great record targeting these country features. CUSTOMER SERVICE (10) is close to a win, placing in the last couple, the latest finishing a 1.5 lengths third at Pakenham and drops in the weights for this. Last year's Grand National Hurdle winner SO BRAVE (6) is another who we'll see over the jumps later on but will be better for a couple of runs back. DONEGAL SOUL (16) comes into it after scratchings as he's been racing consistently, draws well and carries no weight after the claim.
