Plenty of pace from Skilful Artist, Cash Artist and Chayse 'N' Leisa primarily.
SMART MISSION (1) was beaten a whisker over this course and distance two back then hung badly and was out of the placings as a $1.65 pop at Mackay last start. A seven-week let-up should freshen him up. The one to beat on his best form. OUT OF ACES (2) went to the front a fair way out the kept going for a tough win over 1400m here a fortnight ago. Has won over the mile before. Should put himself in the race and prove hard to run down again. INTREPID LAD (5) returned from a 27-week break with an effortless win in BM55 company over 1400m here recently. Kept ticking over with a subsequent trial win. Progressive four-year-old who looks ready to take on this better race. PROPOSE (7) has been freshened up since a return to form at Toowoomba five weeks ago. Back in trip but should be competitive. CASH ARTIST (3) wasn't disgraced in open company at Mackay last time out. Good miler who is nicely placed this afternoon. SUGGESTED PLAY: Smart Mission to win.
