Verdict

Competitive hurdle. ANDY WIN (2) goes on top for us, winning his maiden hurdle on debut at Warrnambool impressively over Mr Waterville who franked that form winning the Novice hurdle over GOLDEN CRUSADER (1) who struggled on the very heavy track into fourth as favourite. Tipping Andy Win can go on with it, but Golden Crusader is a classy jumper and he won't get a bog here which helps him bounce back. ONGATITI (3) was third behind Mr Waterville last time having won his maiden hurdle prior very easily. He's got strong claims as well. FERAGO (4) won a maiden hurdle at Casterton in solid style when charging home late and could go on with it. THE VOCALIST (5) next best off a good run behind Enchanted Elle last time at Casterton.
