GOING: G(4)

TAB We're On 1200m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 24)   Rail: Out 9m Entire Circuit.  

Strong tempo assured with Princess Que, Capper Thirtynine and She's An Artist rolling to the front. SHE'S AN ARTIST (12) was beaten at $1.90 here over 1100m fresh but still ran quite well, setting up a strong pace before just fading the final 100m, pulling up with a slow recovery. Second up last time in she won by nearly four lengths here in very fast time which is where the hype began. That gloss may have come off but she's still very progressive and will be fitter now. Can atone. STOLI BOLLI (10) has placed in all three this time in, beating home She's An Artist here last time out when third. Prefer him at 1200m now and J-Mac sticks. PERSIAN SPIRIT (7) was the shock winner of that race fresh, scoring at $51. Whether he can do it again remains to be seen but he won it decisively and has to be considered. ACID WASH (14) resumes. He's a lightly raced horse who has ability and can run well. DE BERGERAC (2) was good to the line behind Persian Spirit last time and wouldn't shock. SUGGESTED PLAY: She's An Artist to win.
