Verdict

THE ARTEFACT (5) tough old mare who gave them a galloping lesson first-up with a dominant victory over 6f at Mudgee. Proven at the trip and kept fresh. Can get the job done again from the draw. WING NUT (7) back to his right trip after struggling to see the mile out when sixth with the 126lbs. Gets solid weight relief with the claim and expected to bounce back. LYSANDER (8) has his hoof on the till and this is his pet trip. Should camp just off the leaders from the draw and stays in the mix. CEREMONIOUS (1) handy gelding resuming. Has an okay fresh record and maps to get the right run. Can sneak into the minor money.
