1.15 Cheltenham
Smooth Stepper ...looks well in on the run at Newcastle on 28 Nov. On that day he ran a similar time to 145 then rated Wakanda..and more importantly on top of that ...a similar last 3 fence time. The 3 horses close in behind since all have alphabet form since then..including SS ...who was then shoved a Grade 2 he couldn't win. Talking of franking form

..well that newcastle race has the best non complete form of all time since then..it looks dire to a franking man....but the time showed that was decent race.
Smooth Stepper is a nice price today..so its well worth the gamble that race was decent..its a shorter trip today but in the conditions and SS likes to be prominent ...well worth a go. Races off 130 which is only 3 higher..but Wakanda is now a 151 hoss.
had a bit of 17.0 + 16.0 earlier..currently 13.5
