GOING: G

DIVERS TAVERN HANDICAP 1100m

Track: GOOD     Rail: True.  

Star Hostess is expected to lead at a slick tempo. ON THE CHARGE (1) disappointed two back before a much better effort at Derby last time out. He was a winner here three back in a CL2 and this doesn't look much different to his latest performance. Can be positive from the gate and go one better this time around. OCEAN OUTLAW (4) did well to score at this track two runs ago. Fair effort last time out when in contention on the corner before finishing fourth over 1100m at this track, beaten 2.75 lengths. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. MAKE YOUR POINT (6) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when fourth over 1200m at this track after being in the firing line on the turn. Placed to advantage and can run a better race. STAR HOSTESS (9) ran a better race last start, finishing 3 lengths away in fourth over 1200m at this track. Better than recent efforts suggest. SUGGESTED PLAY: On The Charge gets the nod.
