Verdict

VALLEY KING (2) was thrice beaten as the favourite at Riccarton in his most recent racing, and he will be backing up a week on from his last start there over 1m. If he can get handy before the turn, then he can have the last say. MELONI (6) made up a stack of late ground to finish fourth by less than a length as the favourite at Whanganui 3 weeks ago. Stepping up to a mile is the key, and he will be hard to hold out. Follow your money. WONDERBOY (3) has been consistent through a winter campaign, and he has won his only start on this track. A wide gate make it tougher, but he is still a top 4 chance. EXPLOSIVE IMPACT (10) disappointed as a beaten favourite last start at New Plymouth, but can make amends here. WINTER ROSE (13) should be kept safe after breaking her maiden status last time out.
