GOING: G

Sportsbet Without Fear Stakes 1050m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear (Max: 27)   Rail: +9m 1200m-W/Post; +6m Remainder. Sectional 612m. (Pent: 5.42)  

Anticipating good pressure with many of these lining up for the first time. Tricky race to assess. PETIT ARTISTE (3) looks best of the raced bunch. Was a big improver last start at Sandown-Hillside when ridden with more vigour. Suspect they will look to go forward again and with a fitness edge she should prove tough to run down. MEISHO (2) returns after having three runs without success in her debut prep but did show promising signs. Looks to have come back in good order with two jump-out wins under her belt. Draws to get all the favours and is right in the mix. Cases can also be made for debutants ZOUROSA (7) and MALDIVICA (8). SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with the race-fit Petit Artiste.
