OVERVIEW: Map-based certainties have been harder to find than Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 of late, but we may well have one here. So long as he’s not still sleeping after his torrid breeze-bound run at Bendigo last weekend TANGO TARA (5) has everything to suit. First of all, we know he has gate speed from his first-up run on Australian soil; secondly, it’s almost certain all those drawn inside him will relent when he comes knocking. Thirdly, the two class horses draw to his outside are unlikely to declare war into the first turn for disparate reasons. Should all this play out as planned TANGO TARA (5) will lead and receive precious little pressure through the middle stages with no known enforcer counted among his rivals. If you haven’t gotten the gist yet, that makes TANGO TARA (5) tonight’s Best Bet. There are, however, three class commodities among his adversaries. The most threatening of that trio is VANDANTA (9). He has always been a good horse, but something has clicked since he returned from NSW and his last two starts have been that of a dead-set free-for-aller. Should TANGO TARA (5) encounter early issues VANDANTA (9) can easily finish all over the top but you also can’t discount the claims of super last start winner SAHARA SIROCCO (7) or the mercurial but lighting quick STRUVE (6) should things play their way. EARLY SPEED: 5 (Likely Leader) + 1,3?,6,7 RATINGS: 5/ 9/ 7/ 6/ 1/ 4/ 2/ 10/ 3/ 8

OVERVIEW: Map-based certainties have been harder to find than Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 of late, but we may well have one here. So long as he’s not still sleeping after his torrid breeze-bound run at Bendigo last weekend TANGO TARA (5) has everything to suit. First of all, we know he has gate speed from his first-up run on Australian soil; secondly, it’s almost certain all those drawn inside him will relent when he comes knocking. Thirdly, the two class horses draw to his outside are unlikely to declare war into the first turn for disparate reasons. Should all this play out as planned TANGO TARA (5) will lead and receive precious little pressure through the middle stages with no known enforcer counted among his rivals. If you haven’t gotten the gist yet, that makes TANGO TARA (5) tonight’s Best Bet. There are, however, three class commodities among his adversaries. The most threatening of that trio is VANDANTA (9). He has always been a good horse, but something has clicked since he returned from NSW and his last two starts have been that of a dead-set free-for-aller. Should TANGO TARA (5) encounter early issues VANDANTA (9) can easily finish all over the top but you also can’t discount the claims of super last start winner SAHARA SIROCCO (7) or the mercurial but lighting quick STRUVE (6) should things play their way.

OVERVIEW: Map-based certainties have been harder to find than Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 of late, but we may well have one here. So long as he’s not still sleeping after his torrid breeze-bound run at Bendigo last weekend TANGO TARA (5) has everything to suit. First of all, we know he has gate speed from his first-up run on Australian soil; secondly, it’s almost certain all those drawn inside him will relent when he comes knocking. Thirdly, the two class horses draw to his outside are unlikely to declare war into the first turn for disparate reasons. Should all this play out as planned TANGO TARA (5) will lead and receive precious little pressure through the middle stages with no known enforcer counted among his rivals. If you haven’t gotten the gist yet, that makes TANGO TARA (5) tonight’s Best Bet. There are, however, three class commodities among his adversaries. The most threatening of that trio is VANDANTA (9). He has always been a good horse, but something has clicked since he returned from NSW and his last two starts have been that of a dead-set free-for-aller. Should TANGO TARA (5) encounter early issues VANDANTA (9) can easily finish all over the top but you also can’t discount the claims of super last start winner SAHARA SIROCCO (7) or the mercurial but lighting quick STRUVE (6) should things play their way. EARLY SPEED: 5 (Likely Leader) + 1,3?,6,7 RATINGS: 5/ 9/ 7/ 6/ 1/ 4/ 2/ 10/ 3/ 8

OVERVIEW: Map-based certainties have been harder to find than Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 of late, but we may well have one here. So long as he’s not still sleeping after his torrid breeze-bound run at Bendigo last weekend TANGO TARA (5) has everything to suit. First of all, we know he has gate speed from his first-up run on Australian soil; secondly, it’s almost certain all those drawn inside him will relent when he comes knocking. Thirdly, the two class horses draw to his outside are unlikely to declare war into the first turn for disparate reasons. Should all this play out as planned TANGO TARA (5) will lead and receive precious little pressure through the middle stages with no known enforcer counted among his rivals. If you haven’t gotten the gist yet, that makes TANGO TARA (5) tonight’s Best Bet. There are, however, three class commodities among his adversaries. The most threatening of that trio is VANDANTA (9). He has always been a good horse, but something has clicked since he returned from NSW and his last two starts have been that of a dead-set free-for-aller. Should TANGO TARA (5) encounter early issues VANDANTA (9) can easily finish all over the top but you also can’t discount the claims of super last start winner SAHARA SIROCCO (7) or the mercurial but lighting quick STRUVE (6) should things play their way.
