Cansort has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. DARK ARTS (1) just ran into one better when resuming at the Sunny Coast and will have come on with that run now under the belt. Gets the services of Maloney in the irons from the inside alley and looks the one they all have to run down. I STOLE IT (10) has hit the top-four in six of seven starts this preparation and looks to be building up to another victory. Presents some value and shouldn't be dismissed lightly. NORTH COURT (5) is a last-start winner who draws well in gate two. In the mix. CANSORT (15) looked handy saluting on debut and will have derived a bunch of benefit from that day at the races. Can go right on with the job now. DETRIMENTAL (3) peaks third-up and looks one for the exotics players. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning towards Dark Arts.
