Verdict

ARTIE VAINQUEUR (7) returns from a break in a new stable. Raced twice to date, both times over 5f at Ballina, and was not far away on either occasion. Should come back bigger and better this prep. On top in this suitable race. AIRFIELD (1) last appeared just ten days ago when a close second over 5f at Gunnedah after leading. Starting to hit his straps and with the race fitness edge looks a big chance to break the maiden. Hard to make a case for either PARISSIDENT (5) or NOT SO WRONG (2) but something has to run third and fourth and they look the most likely. ON ME (3) making debut. Will need to show more than latest trial when fifth at Scone over 4f. Watch the markets.
