Without an obvious leader, it may be left to Deepwater Artist, Unreal Expectation and Wal's Angels to control the tempo. A BOY NAMED SOO (10) consistent Mudgee-trained gelding racing in career best form. Kept fresh when he stormed home over the top of them to salute over 1600m at Orange. Back in trip and has a good record over this course and distance. Genuine contender in this tougher race. WAL'S ANGELS (6) handy gelding who made up good ground late with a slashing fifth over 1180m at Gundagai. Comes to hand quickly and looks set for a good campaign. NOISES (7) fourth-up today and struggling to draw a decent gate. Never on the track with the 59kg with a struggling ninth over 1600m at Hawkesbury. Tongue-tie comes off and the winkers go on. Can take a hand in the finish. PICK UP THE TAB (2) failed to fire in his two runs back from wide gates. Fitter now out to his right trip and sure to be thereabouts. DEEPWATER ARTIST (4) improving gelding drawn out for this. Place best on the quick back-up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 10,6,7,2.
