Matamata trainer Glenn Old will have solid chances at two separate venues on Saturday, but he will head to New Plymouth to watch Our King Sway in the battle of the Greys.
The Shinko King eight-year-old will line-up in the Powerworx Greys (1400m) and his trainer his hoping third time's a charm after Our King Sway finished fourth in 2016 and runner-up in last year's contest.
The stakes-winner ran third fresh-up in the JRA Trophy (1400m) at Te Aroha earlier this month and his trainer believes the current Dead6 track conditions will be ideal for his runner on Saturday.
"It was a great run first-up, we're really happy with him," Old said. "He's 100 per cent ready for this week, so hopefully he is good enough to get up.
