Verdict

ELEKTRA KING (14) has had four runs this prep and is yet to finish in the top three but was good last start when she finished fourth at Geraldine despite an error. Race fit now and proven at this distance so could win with manners. MY WINGMAN (13) was successful last start in a far better performance at Rangiora. Up in distance but has won at it before so could deliver again. GOODOLDAYZ (12) is looming as a threat after a better effort last start, finishing third at Rangiora. POLLY GREY (4) could go on with it after debuting with a solid win last time out at Mt Harding.
