Verdict

KING'S PARADE (7) has had a poor run of draws lately and did well off a wide trip when finishing fourth at Albany a fortnight ago. He has 8lbs less to carry this time and from a superior gate, he can take this out at what should be some decent each-way value. ODINAKA (3) ran his best race yet when finishing third at Albany 8 days ago. The extra 1 ¾f will suit him and with a slight dip in class, he can figure in the finish again. Follow your money. MR MT WALKER (6) is a durable veteran who took 3 runs before hitting his stride this season and scoring at Albany by a short-head 2 weeks ago. He usually holds his form when fit and another good run is expected. Each way. MACK MACK (5) should be ready to show some form after having 4 runs back from a spell. He is nicely placed after a 4lbs claim and the extra 1 ¼f will suit him. Include in all combinations. RUDHYAR (1) is a handy performer on his day and was too strong at Albany last time out. Go again. Each way.
