Only a small field with Art Session likely to find a comfortable lead. CAPITOLA (1) has been racing in much stronger company throughout his career. It's been a while between wins, but this is much easier than he's been racing in and he'll be better for the fresh effort without a trial coming in. Can bounce back to winning ways. SHE'S CAPITANA (6) never really got into the race last start at Ascot and finished well off the winner. Her form prior was much better and Pike remains with her today. A better draw this time helps and she can bounce back to her best. CORNER OFF (4) bounced back to form last start at Ascot in this grade. She was scratched as a precaution a couple of weeks ago and although she is a long time between drinks, she looks to be right on the cusp. Can play a major role. ART SESSION (2) was strong from the front first-up and this is easier. Can feature. IN SITU (3) can improve coming back in grade today. SUGGESTED PLAY: Capitola can return to form.
