Verdict

VALOROUS (3) finished fourth as the hot favourite last start, beaten 4.5 metres at Addington over 1 ³/16m. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. It doesn't get any easier but she is capable of a big performance. ANNIE OAKLEY (1) is a three-year-old filly from the Michael House stable on debut. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Has strong trial form coming into this. Likely to attract plenty of interest from punters. MIKI MAGNIFICENT (12) must be considered after he finished third when resuming from a spell over 1 ¼m at Addington six days ago after racing parked-out for most of the trip. DON'T BE A STRANGER (10) after getting checked in the early running could only manage to finish ninth when resuming over 1 ½m at Kaikoura last start. Racing fitter should be included in exotic bets.
