Verdict

QUEEN OF KINGS (3) continued her strong run of form with a bold second-place finish here nearly 4 weeks ago. Surely she gets a win soon, and this field lacks depth. GEE FORCE (1) is back on turf after some solid recent poly track form at Riccarton. He races on the pace, and is another who is overdue for a maiden win. THE PEONY XPRESS (4) was brave in defeat here over 7f last time out. She won't be at fancy money this time, but can figure in the top 3 for the first time. BONNIEWEKA (6) did nothing fresh up on the poly track at Riccarton just over 3 weeks ago, but can improve in this modest field. MISS REILLY (5) no go fresh up on this track from a wide gate, but gets a big swing in her draw this time. Include in all combinations.
