GOING: S(5)

BISLEY WORKWEAR HANDICAP 1600m

Track: SOFT 5   Clouds (Max: 18)   Rail: True.  

Artistry In Motion can slide across and take up the running in a race devoid of early pace. EFFORTLESSLY (13) flew home in impressive fashion when back to 1400m last start at this track. The wide draw is a query, though she carries no weight with the claim of Martinan on board and out to the mile now is a big tick for her. Can build into the race out wide and she can get back to winning ways. SPECIAL COUNSEL (8) won impressively two back before repeating the dose last start at Northam as the race favourite. He's gone to another level since getting to the mile and he drops plenty of weight as he tackles a tougher assignment today. He's a nice horse on the rise however and has plenty of upside. Can extend his winning run. TWO TIME CHARLIE (9) won well fresh but never got into the race last time out. He jumps straight to the mile today which can see him go to a new level with CJP booked to ride. Expecting a better run this time. OUR MATE ARCHIE (2) has to be included off a strong first-up performance. ARTISTRY IN MOTION (5) won't be far away. SUGGESTED PLAY: Effortlessly can land the knockout blow.
