Verdict
This is a decent looking handicap, and Cha Cha Cha is taken to confirm recent form over course and distance over Resplendent Nova, and Bomber Command. Last Wednesday Cha Cha Cha won a similar contest with Resplendent Nova back in third place. Although having gone up in the weights, she still has less to carry than the 6 year old Resplendent Nova. Bomber Command was 4th that night, and it's hard to see any change in the placings. So for the lucky last, to dance our way to the pay out counter, we go for Cha Cha Cha.
