HADID (10) missed the placings two starts back then ran a better race and finished 4 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1500m at Pukekohe after being in contention on the bend. Meets a stronger field but she is worth another chance. MONDAY MELODY (1) hasn't been far away recently including last time out when third over 1500m at Pukekohe. Reunites with Craig Grylls who has been in the money three times when aboard. Should be in the finish. NOBLE BOY (3) ran on strongly but just failed to pick up the winner last start over 1600m at Te Aroha. Meeting a deeper field this time but he is up to the challenge. HE'S PLATINUM (2) was safely held when eighth last time out over 1500m at Pukekohe, beaten 6 lengths, after a win at Te Aroha at the previous outing. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time.
