Genuine tempo from Divine Bene leading Believe In Angels. AMERICAN STARLET (10) was snagged back to last from a wide alley then motored home to just miss the placings first-up in a 1200m Rosehill Highway. Nicely in after Nock's claim and out to this trip second-up looks the one to beat. BAT OUT OF HELL (1) got a long way back from a poor alley and was never in contention last time out over today's journey at Randwick. Has a fine record at this stage of the prep so back in midweek company can certainly improve. BELIEVE IN ANGELS (7) was plain last Wednesday at the Kenso but a seven-day back-up by Joe Pride is a positive sign. Worth another chance. Lightly raced four-year-old TRAVOLTA (3) is back from a 111-day spell. Both his wins have come when fresh from a break. Trialled well recently and should give this a shake. HOT BANDIT (4) is racing well this time in work and deserves his chance in town. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing American Starlet.
