Expecting a genuine tempo with Miss Gatsby setting the tone from an outside draw, joined by Wichitall. ARTPARK (5) has struck a purple patch of form, putting together two dominant wins on the trot. Not much tougher this time and only rises slightly in weight. Big chance to bring up the hat-trick. BELONGTOJILL (4) got off the mark in fine style last time in town. Backs up quickly and looks to have turned the page. Can go right on with it. AHVEJAY (3) bounced back into the winner's circle with a bit up his sleeve at the latest when public elect. Winning hoop sticks from the good draw. Has to be considered. CRACKERJACK HATCH (7) improved sharply to break her maiden at Geelong. This is tougher but she has more to offer. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Artpark.
