Verdict

ONE TRUE KING (9) was outclassed in the Waikato Guineas over 1 ¼m at Te Rapa, finishing well back behind some smart types who have since franked that form. He slips back into more suitable company, and he has the early speed to take up a prominent spot. He is the one to beat here. EVER CHARM (7) has been consistent this campaign, placing in 2 of his 3 starts, including a solid third over 1m at Te Aroha 17 days ago. The extra 2f is the key, and another bold showing wouldn't surprise. PERSPECTIVE (6) lifted to score narrowly over 1 ¼m at this track last time. With his confidence up and conditions to suit, he can make his presence felt again. Each way value. NICK TIME (8) has been mixing his form, and he will appreciate the step up to a middle distance. Stick with him.
