ABMAN (3) is finding it hard to win but has been very consistent, adding to a series of top-four finishes when second at his latest appearance at this circuit and distance. Came from the back line there so the better draw could see him finally break through. SOUL ARTIST (9) is a four-year-old mare by top sire Art Major on debut for Rodney Frampton. Has been showing ability at the trials and if things go her way from the back row she could kick off with a win. SOUNDSHELL (4) is a three-year-old son of Downbytheseaside on debut for the Logan Hollis & Shane Robertson stable. Looks to have some talent based on a recent trial win. Expect a strong showing. LINCOLN LOVER (11) is improving with racing this time in and while the draw is tricky he could be ready to deliver after finishing a close second here last time.
