Plenty of first starters engaged which makes it tricky to map, but we can assume a solid tempo. STARTLES (4) has been thrown in the deep end in her last couple of starts after finishing a game third in a decent field on debut at Trentham in June. She is perfectly placed back in maiden company, and she is all set to take this out. PLATINUM LA DANSE (3) was runner-up when resuming behind a smart type, and then got bogged down along the inside at Otaki last time out just over 5 weeks ago. She is also nicely placed at this level, and she can bounce straight back into the money here. CHARMSTRUCK (2) resumes from a spell, and he has had some market support in each of his runs to date. Include him in all combos to be safe. BELLASS (7) makes her debut after a solid trial last month, and from a good gate she maps to receive a good run early on. Include in all combos. SUGGESTED PLAY: Startles can win this.
