Trentham hosts a 10-race program on Saturday, headlined by the Manawatu Steeplechase and Manawatu Hurdle. The track is currently rated a Soft6, with the rail out 6m. Significant rainfall forecast for the Upper Hutt region in the lead-up to raceday could see conditions deteriorate into the Heavy range, possibly a Heavy10 if the worst of the rain arrives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5 Comedy<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n

Comedy (#5) makes his hurdling debut here and is sure to have been well educated given he comes out of the Wilson yard. His three flat runs this campaign have all had merit, including his latest efforts in Open Handicap company. The prospect of a Heavy track shouldn\u2019t concern him in the slightest and he gets the services of a handy jumps jockey in Hamish McNeill aboard. A bold hurdling debut is expected.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Kick On (#9) is a well-accomplished flat horse who makes his jumping debut for the Kevin Myers stable. He comes here off the back of four flat runs, which should ensure he is rock-hard fit for this assignment. While a very testing Heavy track may not be ideal for him these days, his flat ability should carry him a long way. He is sure to be well schooled out of this stable and should run a big race at his hurdling debut.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Billy Boy (#2) makes his long-awaited return to the hurdles. He comes here with four flat runs under his belt, mirroring the preparation Jo Rathbone used when he won this race last year. He looks well placed at the weights carrying 65kg after the claim and his recent race fitness should ensure a testing Heavy track holds no fears. Expect him to roll forward and give these plenty to chase.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Hidden Spark (#10) is a 2yo Bivouac filly making her debut for the Allan Sharrock stable. She arrives without a public trial, which is not unusual for this stable. I was happy to be against the early favourite Shamelia Kirk on a Heavy track, trusting that Sharrock would only line this filly up if he\u00a0<\/span>was<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>confident<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>she\u2019d<\/span>\u00a0cope with the conditions.

La Chica Bella (#7) is a 3yo\u00a0<\/span>Telperion<\/span>\u00a0filly who comes here at just her second career start. She ran\u00a0<\/span>a very good<\/span>\u00a0race on debut at Hastings when finishing 2nd, only being\u00a0<\/span>nabbed<\/span>\u00a0late after hitting the front inside the final 100m. She should have taken plenty of improvement from that experience and looks to have found a very winnable maiden assignment. The Hastings surface that day was effectively closer to a Heavy10 on times for mine, which suggests a testing track here should not be an issue. She looks extremely hard to beat.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Sinbin (#4) resumes her campaign with plenty of upside after a good first-up effort for 4th at Otaki, where she settled back in a slowly run race before producing all the fastest closing sectionals when finding the line well late. She was 210 days between runs that day and should strip much fitter here. The prospect of a Heavy track\u00a0<\/span>shouldn\u2019t<\/span>\u00a0inconvenience her as much as some of her rivals and she gets in light with just 53kg on her back after the claim.

Wheelitin<\/span>\u00a0(#6) was an eye-catcher first-up at New Plymouth behind Belle Tribute, flashing home late for 3rd after settling well back. She drops back in grade for this assignment and should have taken good improvement from the resuming effort. Expect her to settle towards the rear again from the wide draw, before being produced in what I expect will be the better lanes out wide. She looks a great each-way chance at long odds.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

She looks a great each-way chance at long odds."}]}]},"yoast_head":"\nTrentham Tips & Preview | Saturday 6 June - TAB NZ Punters Lounge<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Visit TAB NZ for our expert Trentham tips and Saturday racing preview including our insider tips\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tab.co.nz\/punters\/2026\/06\/trentham-tips-preview-saturday-6-june\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Trentham Tips & Preview | Saturday 6 June -
