Art Session to take charge ahead of Tycoon Harry at a solid tempo. SCULLY (3) has been racing in good order in Saturday company, giving away big starts and running on strongly from the back. Back to 1000m today as he drops to midweek company and maps to be in a handy position under Parnham. Can bounce back to winning ways in this suitable assignment. ART SESSION (6) comes through a Saturday race where he was only 1.5L off the winner in a bunched finish. The wide draw is a niggle, but if he can get across from out wide then he'll be in this for a very long way. AZENA (11) comes here without a trial but the booking of Pike suggests she's ready to fire fresh. Not to be discounted. TYCOON HARRY (2) gets the blinkers back on today and can bounce back. SUGGESTED PLAY: Scully makes plenty of appeal.
