Hugh Bowman is hoping the ultra-consistent Liveandletlive can score his second win in three starts when he contests the Class Two Hat Trick Handicap (1,800m) at Happy Valley.
Bowman was on board for the Tony Cruz-trained galloper’s victory over The Auspicious by one and a quarter lengths in May and will be looking to repeat the feat up in grade at Class Two level. The son of Muhaarar ran a neck second to the smart Silvery Breeze at his first attempt in the grade last start.
Wednesday sees the five-year-old jump from barrier five, where the race should see an ideal set-up with the speedy Aerodynamics jumping from the inside barrier.
“He’s a good horse, he’s a consistent horse, he looks well placed in this and he likes Happy Valley,” Bowman said.
“The race set-up looks good for him because you’ve got Aerodynamics in the race drawn one, so we’ll have to work for the lead a bit, but there’ll be plenty of speed. It depends on what the others do, but this horse likes to gallop along anyway.
