Speed should be right on over the 950m journey. Looks a race in three. STILL EXCITED (6) returns after almost a year off racing under new trainer Brett Robb. Raced just twice in the maiden prep with the best effort a close fourth over 1250m at Newcastle at his most recent appearance. The market will tell the story. ARTIE VAINQUEUR (7) is another who returns from a break in a new stable. Raced twice to date, both times over 1000m at Ballina, and was not far away on either occasion. Should come back bigger and better this prep. AIRFIELD (1) last appeared just ten days ago when a close second over 1000m at Gunnedah after leading. Starting to hit his straps and with the race fitness edge looks a big chance to break the maiden. Hard to make a case for either PARISSIDENT (5) or NOT SO WRONG (2) but something has to run fourth and one of them looks the most likely. SUGGESTED PLAY: Punting on Still Excited being forward enough.
