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. 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. TITLED (10) makes his jumping debut, and he is sure to be well schooled in this role. His pace on the flat is an advantage, and he will be ready to run a big race. GOOSEBUMPS (1) has talent in this role, and he can figure in the top 4. SUGGESTED PLAY: Towrope each way.
