---|---|---|---|---|
In the absence of noted leaders, Dyami and Art's Alive may be the ones to set a moderate tempo. ART'S ALIVE (4) took up the running in a new role for her then battled on gamely to finish third behind Useapin here at this trip two weeks ago. Fitter for that run and if early races show a leader tendency, then she might be a nice bet at a price. Three-year-old GRAND PRAIRIE (11) returned from a spell and was lining up for only the third time when a narrow maiden winner over 1100m at the Kensington track recently. Taking a big leap in grade today but he is in good hands and is an untapped talent. The consistent STARDEEL (5) has performed well in rain affected tracks all prep. Sure to give a great sight again on a seven-day back-up. Last start winner USEAPIN (2) with McDonald up is a chance again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Art's Alive.
