2:55 Another big slog in store here over 3m4f in the heavy stuff. It's more open than it looks on the face of it, but Operation Houdini does look a very fair price at 5/1 after two very good runs in similar conditions recently. There are a couple I fancy at bigger prices though including The Halfway Bar who would have a chance if transfering good hurdling form to the fences, Allickadoo who has won a couple in decent style recently, but I'm taking an each-way punt on Kilbane River who has been running consistently in weaker handicap chasers recently, but won his only attempt thus far at 3m and may take to the longer trip. A New Story should also be thereabouts too.
