Verdict

VICTOR TANGO (5) made an encouraging debut at Ruakaka, storming home to miss by just a nose over 7f. With natural improvement, he looks like a major threat and should be charging late again. On top for us. O'HELLO (6) has attracted support at recent runs without delivering, most recently finishing seventh at Tauranga. The market confidence is a positive sign, and he's worth another chance to show his best. STARCLAN (1) resumed with a solid fourth over 6f at Te Rapa and now steps up in trip. A backmarker who finishes strongly, he can have the last say in this. MOONBEAMS (10) has been thereabouts without winning, last time finishing fifth over 1m at Waipukurau. Dropping back to 7f is no problem, and any rain about would aid her chances. HE'S DIVINE (2) will be backing up quickly, and from a good gate with a kilo claim, he can figure in the top 4 again.
