Keen early exchange with Shiny Bob likely to hold the lead off the inside draw although Hoodwinked and Tibbott Bourke won't give it up easily. ARTIST'S MODEL (7) showed good improvement when second in his last start over this distance at Scottsville. He finished strongly but found one too good on the day. He is a progressive type and with Muzi Yeni retaining the ride, he should be the one to beat. DAPPER (6) has good form lines to his credit. He returns from a 10-week break, during which time he was gelded. If not in need of this outing, he should throw out a big challenge to the top pick. HOODWINKED (2) was in need of his fresh-up run over 1200m on this course. He would have come on from the run and should strip much fitter. He will love the rise to the mile and should have a say in the outcome of this race. AMIGO (11) fought on bravely at the finish when third over 1950m last start. He should have no issues with the drop to the mile and with luck in running, he should finish in the placings. Each way value.
