Verdict

TAGALOMU (6) hails from the leading Walker/Bergerson stable, and has been given plenty of trial experience, including a win at the latest of those at Avondale last month. He makes his debut over a mile, and with Opie Bosson in the saddle, it is enough to put him on top. STAR WARRIOR (3) was put aside after failing to fire on debut at Woodville on a heavy track. He resumes with Matt Cameron in the saddle, and his trial form last season suggests that he has the ability and is well worth each-way consideration fresh up. Watch the market. MALLEABLE (1) resumed from a spell for a new trainer and ran third at New Plymouth over 6f. The step up to a mile will suit him, and he can figure in the top 4, especially with Warren Kennedy picking up the ride. VENTO D'ARGENTO (7) was heavily supported when finishing fifth on debut at Woodville nearly 6 weeks ago. He cops a wide gate, but is still worth including in all combinations. THE FRENCHMAN (4) no go on debut, but can do better. Include.
