Air Centre and Vin De Dance the likely lead pair. VIN DE DANCE hit the ground running with a debut win over 1200m at Pukekohe. Will have taken valuable race experience from the run. Can go on with things here. JAKE THE MUSS resumes after a campaign where he measured up at Group level. Warrants plenty of respect. The top three in the final event of the day look a solid trio for sure namely JAKE THE MUSS, JET CHARGED and TWO THIRTY. The former should win as he is better than these by a margin. Sixth at only course run and it was not that bad. Fourth at G2 two runs ago so fears none of these whatsoever. The middle name ran an eyecatcher last start and has never been out of the money third up. The latter can swim and has never missed paying a dividend when second up. Vin De dance can handle the class rise as he looks to have some scope. Ru'mar was not too bad last time out in a stronger field than this and drops half a kilo. Won his maiden prior on this track. Keeping Tom is one for double figures to bolster the first four. SUGGESTED PLAY: Can't ignore the strength of Vin De Dance's debut win. Back to go on with things.
