Solid tempo anticipated with Black Adam taking charge. ARTPARK (14) was quickly back on track beaten a half length at Ararat. She's on an eight-day return and has a key jockey switch to Yendall. Peaks today, and she just needs average luck to go close. CONTROVERSIAL MISS (8) maps for the run of the race and is busting to win. Built on the 58 win with a near miss at Wangaratta in a 70, before just missing there as a short-priced favourite. Go close. OLIVIA'S SCANDAL (7) seeks the hat-trick off an easy win at Kyneton. She couldn't have been more impressive and also deserves plenty of consideration. IMMORTAL SHIELD (9) will present fitter for a leading barn and his best would see him right in it. Keep safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Artpark.
