ISLAND HOP (3) tried hard when finishing second at his jumping here nearly 3 weeks ago, and he can go one better in this. Follow your money. CHESTER BOY (6) capped off some strong form with an overdue second win at New Plymouth 3 weeks ago. He is well schooled and he can make a winning debut over the jumps. TOWROPE (2) needed his resuming run on the flat at Waverley 5 weeks ago. He has already had a start over jumps, and he will improve quickly in this race. Each way value. BILLY (5) was too strong on the flat when winning at Hastings on a very testing track there just over 3 weeks ago. He is in the right stable to make an immediate impact in this role. THE BELVOIR (4) was game in defeat when resuming at Ta Aroha 12 days ago, and if he jumps safely again, then he can again figure in the top 4.
