Take The Prize should lead but there are a few other speedy types who can keep her honest. The majority are mixing form. ARTPARK (12) has been one of those and put in a poor one last time over the border. The start prior won by a space. Senior rider goes aboard this time and is worth another chance at home. KAWA (7) resumed after a long break with an encouraging fifth and will be much fitter for it. Draws well and has the ability. SMART RETURN (9) had been thereabouts but relished the extra ground last time and led throughout to score. Has a tricky gate to overcome here but goes very well at this circuit with two wins and a placing from three tries. Must include. DIAMOND WAR (2) has been safely held in richer company last two but did win only try course and distance and will be winding up late. BELLALIQUE (10) was no match at Sandown Hillside latest but this suits and will also be doing best work late. SUGGESTED PLAY: Give Artpark another try.
