Verdict

REBELIOUS RED (6) showed speed on debut to race handy and boxed on well for second at Coffs Harbour in an 4f scamper. Better for it, well drawn and should go well. Looks his race. UNCLE MOONLIGHT (3) disappointed when resuming at Taree but did run well on wet ground in first two starts so improvement wouldn't shock. STARZZABORN (13) on debut from the Lees yard and stablemate BOMBINATE (5) are worth keeping safe.
