HARPER VALLEY improved further when runner-up at Kelso 13 days ago and a reproduction of that form could be good enough to see him go one better here. Ninetofive disappointed on his Perth handicap debut but was subsequently found to have lost both front shoes, so can be given another chance. Kopa Kilana may prove best of the rest.
