Verdict

TANGO RHYTHM (14) Is building toward a maiden win, finishing 0.9L off the winner at this track last time out. The step up to the mile looks perfect for her and drawing off the fence this time will allow her to build into the race when Faithfull wants. Ticks plenty of boxes and can go one better this time. MY TEA (6) missed last start at Mt Barker when flashing late from midfield. He's likely to get back in the run from the gate, but the rise in trip looks ideal for him now and with further improvement expected, he'll be hard to hold out. SEA OF GALILEE (2) has been close his past four outings beaten 1L last start over he 7 ½f. He's placed 2/2 at this track and trip and turned in a competitive two back. Can be in the finish once again. BRAGGING RIGHTS (12) is on debut over the mile today and any market moves should be respected. HEY TRUE BLUE (11) is next best.
