GOING: N

SKYPOINT Class 3 Handicap 1540m Track: SYNTHETIC Rail: True.
Reasonable tempo with a few going forward. ARTZINO (1) came from back in the field for a midfield finish at Grafton in his first start since joining the Jack Bruce stable. Second-up last prep he was 2nd in a Pakenham BM64 over 1600m and he looks well-placed to make his presence felt here from a soft draw. ROCKIN' ARTIE (2) led and was only overhauled late when a close 4th at Doomben last start. Gets in nicely with 3kg claim and expect him to be in this for a long way. FRIEND IN NEED (5) should be fitter for this third-up and broke her maiden third-up last campaign at Grafton. Looks a top-four prospect. DEVINE FALLS (8) has been competitive over this course and distance in the past and has drawn to get every chance to run a decent race fresh. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Artzino to win.
