Abstract: We describe a Segre-Veronese construction of polynomial solutions to the interpolation conditions of the numerators of tree-level MHV gravity amplitudes given by Hodges' formula. The five- and six-point Hodges numerators arise from Segre determinants, while for every $n\geq7$ suitable Segre determinants lead to solutions linearly independent of the Hodges numerator. The existence of such independent elements for $n=7,8$ was recently established by Mai and Zhang.
