NZ - Trentham - Race 3

HAPPY STAR (3) resumed from a spell on the flat at New Plymouth and just followed the field around for practice. It will be a different story over the hurdles, and this very accomplished jumper will go close to taking this out. HILL OF KINGS (4) is another very good hurdler who needed his fresh up run on the flat at Woodville just over 5 weeks ago. He loves it heavy, and if he doesn't need this run as well, then he is expected to be very competitive. BILLY BOY (2) was the jumping find of last year, and his form on the flat this year has been very good bar his last run at Whanganui when not having much luck. He is well placed after a 4lbs claim, and he can win this. SO CALL ME (8) made a good job of both of his hurdle starts to date, and he will be spot on with his fitness after 3 runs back from a spell on the flat. His strong track record makes him hard to beat here. DICTATION (1) is a top class hurdler who strips fitter after his fresh up run on the flat. Don't risk him. Can win.
