Verdict

MALLEABLE (2) battled away late when finishing sixth over 1m at Matamata last start, and he is reaching his peak fitness third up from a spell. Michael McNab sticks with him, and so do we. On top. BEAU MILLER (1) took a step forward second-up when fifth over 1m at Matamata in the same race as the top pick, improving on his sound fresh effort at Arawa Park. Each way claims here. THE MAILMAN (5) placed at Avondale two starts back before failing to feature at Pukekohe over a mile last time out as the favourite. He is better than that, and he is worth another chance at some value, so follow your money. KAY'S RUEBE (7) was doing her best work late at Hawera over 7f second up 15 days ago when sent out as the favourite. Stick with her for all top 4 combos.
