VICTORIAN CHARM (2) wasn't far away last time and is edging towards a win, the latest effort a solid second over 1600m at this track. One of the main chances. NO PARTY (3) came from well back on the turn to score last time out over 1200m at Wingatui. One of the main contenders. WARLAC (11) finished 3.5 lengths away in seventh last time out over 1200m at this track when first up from a spell. Tackles a longer journey this time. Form at this distance is strong with two wins from four starts and is right in the mix. EXPLOSIVE LASS (8) was in contention on the corner and finished second last time over 1200m at Ashburton when resuming from a spell, beaten 2 lengths. Meets a stronger field but she is good enough to take this out.
