Verdict

ARTPARK (10) has been racing well lately from the in form Paul Preusker stable, and she has given the impression that she will be suited to 7f after hitting the line strongly in her last couple of starts when ridden off the pace. A good draw has her mapping well for a cosy run, and she can get the job done here. QUEEN AMANJENA (9) had to work too hard to find the front last start, and then overdid once she got there, weakening to finish fourth. The winkers come off, and a senior hoop replaces an apprentice, so stick with her. Each way. CLARAPATRA (12) was an impressive maiden winner at Moe fresh up, but has not had much go right for her in 4 starts since then. If the tempo is genuine in this, then she is more than capable of a top 4 finish. TRIOMPHE (7) has changed stables since finishing out of the money in a tougher field at Morphettville-Parks in late June. She resumes with some gear changes, and at this easier level, he can't be risked. PARKRUN (1) drops in trip. Include.
