A solid tempo on the cards with Kelvinater taking charge. ARTICOLE (4) is the main danger, however, after a hot start to this campaign. He was solid late in a good CL3 here last Wednesday and the form out of his first two races this campaign stood up. Progressing nicely and can return to winning ways here. OUR ROCKY BAY (3) led them up last start over the mile and just couldn't see it out, beaten 2.9L. The form out of that has already worked out and now Nottle takes the ride. Will need some luck but he's racing in good order. PUBLICISE (9) flew home to just miss last start and comes back in trip again today. Can put it all together. I LOVE YA MONEY (8) will find this a little easier and has to be included with Pike hopping back aboard. SUGGESTED PLAY: Articole appeals.
