Expecting a genuine tempo. Keen to see the return of SHE'S AN ARTIST (2). The shine might've come off her a bit having looked like a G1 horse early doors, good in two runs last time in without quite winning, but the form out of them has stacked up well. She started $1.90 first up last time in a very strongly run race at Flemington won by Persian Spirit, and this looks a fair bit easier. She's still very lightly raced and can return to winning ways. ALONG THE RIVER (3) is airborne but can't quite crack a win, just finding one better in three runs this time in. Fancy he'd be better suited back to 1000m but he gets every chance to be saved up from the inside gate and see it out. FOXENBERG (7) won well enough fresh at Pakenham and has always promised to be a bit better than that. REWARDS AND MORE (1) next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: She's An Artist - Along The River quinella.
