Without a noted leader engaged Slam Dunk may cross and take it up. ARTGIRL (9) ended a run of three minor placings in town with a disappointing effort over this distance at the Kensington track last start. Was pushed along early then raced three-wide without cover so there was an excuse. Genuine filly as a rule so give her another chance. AGRAFFE ROCKET (1) has come from worse than midfield on straightening to fill minor placings at his two runs this prep, the latest over this trip at the Kensington circuit. Heading towards a maiden win although a wide gate here dampens the enthusiasm a little. PINK PERSUASION (12) registered her sixth top three finish in eight starts when a close second over 1450m at the Illawarra Grange track recently. Racing well deep into her prep and should be competitive again. Recent Rosehill trial winner VIVA MAURICIO (8) performed well in town last prep and looks set for a bright return from a 19-week spell. RED SENTINEL (6) did enough on debut at the Kenso 17 days ago to suggest he can play a key role in this. SUGGESTED PLAY: Artgirl to bounce back and score.
