I Am Artie and Tidal Creek possess good early speed.
The well-related WARBY (14) (half to G1 winner and stallion Captivant) grows a leg for hoop Maloney who has four wins and two placings from just six rides and will be high on confidence following that second-up victory. Will have come on even more from that hit-out and draws perfectly in gate three down in the weights. No reason why he cannot repeat the dose. MILLANE (2) saves his best form for here on his home circuit with three wins and six placings from 12 spins. Racing very honestly of late and rates a genuine top-three contender. I AM ARTIE (3) resumes here but the form he showed when last in work was impeccable. Can run a big race while fresh. SWISS EXILE (5) was well supported at Doomben last time out and didn't let supporters down. Can go back-to-back. ROCKRIBBED (4) strips fitter third-up from the spell and may earn some minor money. SUGGESTED PLAY: Warby to win again.
