Genuine tempo with the speedy More Mischief leading the way. EMPIRE OF ART (3) chased home two in-form horses second up and should be ready to give everything over a mile now. Building nicely this time in work and scratchings makes the barrier less daunting now. Can get to the outside and make his presence felt in the straight. INNCOURT (1) pays the penalty for dashing early career form with a heavy lead bag. There's a reason he has been allocated the weight however, and that's because he's a progressive type on the back of two sharp wins recently. Working through the grades nicely and can continue to build the picket fence. SIRIUS LEGEND (2) has handy all-round form as a last start winner but meets a solid class rise. Gate one plays him in as a top-four option. SUGGESTED PLAY: Empire Of Art win.
