Certain to be a strong tempo with Smart Jazz, Lease and Azarax leading the charge. ATELIER (1) returned from a spell in a $50k Class 3 at Goulburn and did a fine job in the heavy going to finish second over 1300m. Won second-up last prep then went on to be competitive at stakes level. Strips fitter and looks a class above her rivals. AZARAX (9) showed pace on debut over 1300m at this track then dug deep to get the chocolates in an impressive start to his career. Has trialled well since that run six weeks ago and looks capable of taking this next step. READY AND LUCKY (10) relished the return to a rain affected surface when successful last start in a BM66 at Muswellbrook. Just one minor placing from seven dry track runs is alarming - keep tabs on the track condition. MONTY BE QUICK (2) scored a tough win here first-up then dropped out of contention on a bottomless Kensington track last time. Can bounce back under today's conditions. LEASE (7) doesn't win out of turn but his stats at today's trip read well. SUGGESTED PLAY: Atelier to win.
