Gold Coast Poly Race 3 - Happy Wedding Day Mr & Mrs Lee Mdn Plate
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.

Racing second-up today. Last outing held ground to the line 3rd of 9 at Ballina Mdn on April 11 over 1010m, slow going 6 len behind Southampton Nicco with 57kg at $13. At only start last preparation second last of 10 at Ipswich 3yo Mdn on October 31 over 1100m, on a slow track; 8 len behind Galactic Star carrying 56.5kg at $101. Fair effort on that occasion but this looks beyond her reach.
