Anticipating good pressure with many of these at the races for the first time. ARTISTIC FLAIR (4) eases back to provincial level first up and has had the irreversible gear change since last campaign. Thought the latest trial was a nice step in the right direction and that it came on the heavy going - his first look at that in any official outing - it can be seen as a positive for his chances going into this. Think he runs a sharply improved race. ZOUFIELD (3) handled a wet track in a solid recent trial and should make all the running from the outset. Jump and run type right in this on debut. PARFUMIER (7) resumes for a new yard and most recent trial was more serious. Stable has plenty to play with this campaign. SUGGESTED PLAY: Artisitic Flair can win this.
