Outoftheoffice to go to the lead at a genuine tempo. MASTER ARTIST (2) has his hoof on the till after going under narrowly when a head second over 1100m at Murwillumbah. Returned good figures on that occasion and gets his chance with Ash Morgan aboard. WHAT A GENT (3) resumes for the in-form Tracy Bartley yard after running some respectable minor placings last time in. Fitted with the two excellent trials and he looks one of the leading prospects. OL' MATE COOP (12) two-year-old gelding taking on the older horses today. Gave his all when a slick second over 1205m at Coffs Harbour. Trained locally and can give this a real shake from the low draw. WINCHMAN (4) unlucky gelding who should have shed his maiden status by now. Returns after finishing in the minor money in stronger contests and the two good trials look to have him forward enough for this. SUGGESTED PLAY: Master Artist in a fairly even contest.
