ART TREE (7) missed the placings when resuming two runs back then did a good job last start but found one better over 1300m at this track, beaten only 0.8 lengths after being prominent at the bend. Finds a suitable race and can figure in the finish. OASIS TIME (4) returns after ten weeks in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a sixth over 1600m at this track. Hard to beat if back in good order as anticipated. UNION FLASH (9) is a first-starter by Flashback out of Union Chatter. Sure to have come on from a recent trial. A betting push will add to the confidence. ICE BARBELL (11) has not been sighted since he finished 11th over 1300m at this track on June 21. Is lightly raced and looks forward enough after a solid recent trial. Serious contender.
