Verdict

AGIFTFROMTHEANGELS (5) was struggling to make his mark before the latest appearance when he scored by 2 metres over 1m at Tamworth. That latest effort is good enough to take out a race like this. OUR ART CHRISTIAN (6) has had four runs this prep and is yet to finish in the top three. Was again unable to find the frame last start when he finished sixth over 1 ¼m at this track, beaten 40 metres. Good enough to take out a race like this. HASLER (7) is in the mix following a respectable third at his most recent appearance over 1m at this track. DREAM TO DANCE (1) is worth some thought despite her last-start ninth over 1m at Menangle on May 26.
