Verdict

MELTON MAGNATE (8) is in good form with top-five finishes at his last six starts, most recently recording a second over 1 ½m at this track. Must overcome a very wide draw. Has the class to take care of this field. SHARDS LYRIC (3) drew wide last start and was easily accounted for, beaten 30 metres into tenth at Addington over 1 ³/16m. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this better draw. Meets a comparable field and she is capable of a much better performance. EYES OF AN ANGEL (14) is next in line and although she has to contend with an awkward gate a win is not out of the question. HAPPY HARRIET (6) finished just 6 metres away over 1 ³/16m at Kaikoura last start. Strips fitter third-up and can improve. In the mix.
