OVERVIEW: The first of the night’s genuine majors has been pitted as a Bledisloe battle between nine-time Group 1-winning Kiwi SPEEDING SPUR (1) and expatriate Kiwi-turned-Aussie TORNADO VALLEY (6) which has only gathered momentum courtesy of their respective draws. Plainly put there are only three potential Speed Map scenarios here; either SPEEDING SPUR (1) leads and keeps the front, TORNADO VALLEY (6) crosses at the start or SPEEDING SPUR (1) leads but relents to the pressure from the popular elect. Because of the speed drawn between the two big guns it’s marginally more likely that SPEEDING SPUR (1) will kick through and keep the front with TORNADO VALLEY (6) in the breeze but the simple fact are these; if he does lead TORNADO VALLEY (6) is a genuine $1.10 shot and even if he breezes he’s probably a $1.80 chance so the $1.70 currently up for grabs represents great value for a horse who is much better right here and right now than any of his rivals. If SPEEDING SPUR (1) leads he’s the major threat and if he hands up he’s near certain to finish second so play him with purpose through your exotics and perhaps as a saver through Quads while also paying respect to TOUGH MONARCH (9) who also has blowout claims should the polemarker lead and he holds his back in transit along with SAVE OUR PENNYS (3) who has had a near-perfect if ultimately fruitless ID campaign and KYVALLEY BLUR (11) who possesses all the requisite class but will need the race run at genuine speed to give him his chance to play ambush artist late.
