KICK ON (2) likes it here, and has been tuned up with a bold run for fifth at Otaki on the flat nearly a month ago. The Myers stable is on fire again at this meeting, and he is good enough to take this out. BILLY (5) has been a beaten favourite in 3 of his 4 starts over jumps, and he should now be jumping without caution, which should see him go close to winning here. Follow your money. DOCTOR LIVINGSTONE (7) dropped his rider last week, and he only needs to get around safely to be a big each-way chance at good odds in this even contest. SIR MIKKI (8) has yet to put it all together over hurdles, but this is his chance to shine, so we will give him another chance. OVERDRAFT (6) needed the run on the first day, and he has the talent to take this out. SUGGESTED PLAY: Doctor Livingstone each way value.
