Verdict

LEGASELLI (10) finished fifth when resuming two runs back then did a good job last start but found one better over 7f at this track, beaten only a head after being in contention on the bend. Looks well placed so expect another big run. VAN HOVEN (4) made an encouraging debut last time out, finishing a close fourth over 7f at Goulburn. Likely improver who should go well. NAMBI GHIMA (5) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when she settled well back over this trip at Newcastle, beaten a length into sixth. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. TOUCHING HANS (3) finished ninth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1m at Wyong. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. VIVA VIVA (6) has hit the line nicely in both runs back and will appreciate stepping out to this trip. Chance to break through.
