Verdict

BILLY (5) unexpectedly lost his rider when well in the market for his jumping debut at Trentham 11 days ago. He gets a big chance to set the record straight in this. Stick with him on top. WENEEDASHOCK (7) just battled last time out at Whanganui, and is now ready to excel in his new role over hurdles. With his pace on the flat, he is likely to be hard to beat in this. ZEE HEIGHTS (1) fought on gamely for fifth last start at Trentham in his first start over jumps this season. He will be at his peak fitness now, and he should be right in the finish this time. Top 4 value. LAE ZEE (9) was an upset winner over 1200m fresh up at Matamata, and then after a couple of jumping trials, she was a cautious seventh in his first attempt at that role here nearly 3 weeks ago. She is capable of a better effort here, so don't risk her. BROTHER MAX (2) pulled out a beauty fresh up on the Cambridge poly track fresh up a month ago, and he will only continue to improve with more racing. Each way.
