TRENTHAM SUPPORTERS GROUP WELLINGTON HURDLES 3200m

Track: HEAVY 10     Out 6m  

HAPPY STAR (2) was too strong here last start over 2500m, and an extra 700m third up won't pose too much of a problem for this classy hurdler. On top again. BILLY BOY (3) was no match for the top pick when finishing third last time out in the same race, and he has cruised home to win a hurdle trial since then. He is good enough to turn the tables in this. TUTIN CANS (6) put it all together when scoring an impressive maiden hurdle win here last start. He steps up in class, but can still measure up in the small field. Stick with him. ROC UP RALPH (4) is very capable in this role, having won twice, and his last run at Te Rapa was out of character. He is worth another chance in this. SUGGESTED PLAY: Billy Boy will be hard to beat.
