Expecting a solid pace with Polished Wood, Kings Commission and Artistic Genius leading the charge. DYNAMITE DANCER (2) is a 3YO who was a dominant winner of his maiden before being turned out and joining Matt Williams, for whom he has won a couple of jumpouts. Draws the inside and again has the services of Dean Yendall, so worth sticking with. BAZAAR (1) also resumes from a good draw and he too has been trialling up well, including a 1000m Ararat jumpout win at his latest. MISS DECEIVER (11) registered a strong win at Kilmore two runs ago. Decent effort last time out when third over 1200m at Pakenham, beaten a neck. Finds an easier assignment and can get the job done. ARTISTIC GENIUS (4) will find this easier than the races he contested at the back end of last prep, is a first-up winner and heads here off a nice trial win. SUGGESTED PLAY: Dynamite Dancer each-way.
