King Of Valhalla is expected to lead at a slick tempo. KING OF VALHALLA (3) missed a whisker at Nanango and then again here on the turf, spiking his numbers. He has a low gate and races on the speed. Well placed to win. NAVY KISS (4) debuts for the premier metro yard and has been well educated. He placed on the turf here in his latest trial and will likely have the early speed to manage the awkward barrier. The betting will be key. HELLARIOUS (7) resumes with the blinkers on for the first time. Draws awkwardly but didn't miss by much on the turf here two back on debut to suggest he can make an impact. QUEEN OF ACES (10) resumes and missed a length here on the main course in a recent trial. Has the blinkers on for the first time and can come back improved. DEMES GIRL (6) was better at Gatton and may be the best of the remainder. SUGGESTED PLAY: King Of Valhalla with the race fitness/experience.
