Strong tempo expected with Kijivu, Noubentekh and Disco Talk prominent. Open race. ARTPARK (9) doesn't win out of turn but is going okay, solid last time at Horsham over 1400m on good ground. She's fresh into this but should be right there. KIJIVU (2) stuck on well on heavy ground at Horsham last time in a small field and will just need a bit of early luck from a wide gate to be figuring again. SIERRA BLANCA (10) wasn't far away on a very heavy deck at Hamilton last time and her maiden win was on heavy, hard to hold out. TAKE ME TO CHURCH (13) could sneak into the minor money after a last start fifth over 1200m at Hamilton. TOMMYESS (1) is also a possible improver here. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 9,2,10,13.
