GOING: S(5)

SALMON STALLION RATINGS BAND 0 - 58 Handicap 1400m

Track: Soft 5   Rain (Max: 24)   Rail: +5m 1000m-W/Post, +4m Remainder. (Pent: 4.84)  

All About Artie to set a strong tempo joined by Quality Miss pressing on from an outside draw. WARRIOR FOR PEACE (10) was well in the betting at Muswellbrook on debut and didn't let supporters down with a domiant two-length victory. Revved up for this with a recent trial placing and is drawn to get all the favours from the inside marble. Worth keeping very safe. ALL ABOUT ARTIE (1) has hit the top-five in all nine starts to date and doesn't know how to put in a poor one. A must for the multiples. NAUGHTY NURSE (18) brings NSW formlines to the table and should find this easier than what she faced down south. Top-three commodity. MALTALI (9) has finished runner-up in two of his past three efforts and shouldn't be underestimated. AS EXPECTED (11) strips fitter third-up from the break and may trouble the judge with any luck in running. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 10,1,18,9.
