In a small field either Bohemian Art or Switz will find the front. SWITZ (6) is down sharply in weight today and looks to take control early from the inside draw. Went out quickly before fading late when a tough second over this trip at Hawkesbury. Gets every chance to get off the mark at start seven and will prove hard to get past. SILVER TEMPEST (2) lightly raced gelding who jumped quickly in trip when a plugging third over 1600m at Hawkesbury. Can sit just off them from the good gate and play a leading role. SO SUPERIOR (8) kept fresh and ready to shed his maiden tag fourth-up. Came out positively from the outside gate when a gritty on speed third over 1600m at Canberra. Finds a tougher contest today but not to be overlooked. BOHEMIAN ART (5) failed to sprint with them at her first run back when a battling fourth over 1300m at Hawkesbury. Can step up to the plate here over the extra ground. SUGGESTED PLAY: Switz gets every chance.
