Good early pressure with Just Chill or Khant Fail likely to take up the running. ELEGANT ARTIST (11) comes here with a fitness edge fourth up after returning good figures on the solid tempo when third over 1300m at Hawkesbury. Trip won't pose a problem, and she maps to get the right run. Goes close. KHANT FAIL (8) nice return from a lengthy break when a plugging third over 1500m at Kembla Grange. Senior rider on and adept in all conditions. CHIEF OF STAFF (3) lost a plate on debut and never looked a winning prospect when fifth over 1400m at Kembla Grange. Expected to have come on strongly since and better placed over this trip. Improver. PAPPIANA (9) hard fit now and not far away last time out when sixth in a Super Mdn over this track and trip. Improver with the claim. SUGGESTED PLAY: Elegant Artist to win.
