ARTIST MARK (2) showed good early muster and fought on to finish second last start over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Nicely placed to take this out. BRUDER (8) had a bit on his rivals last time with an impressive 3 lengths win over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Has a solid record here at the distance with two wins and three placings from seven tries. Expected to be in the finish. ELLIE'S BOYFRIEND (1) had been racing consistently, finishing in the money two races on end, until finishing fourth as favourite last time out over 1207m at this track. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. One of the main contenders. HARBOR OF GOLD (6) raced on the speed last start over this course and distance and stuck on well to finish third, beaten 2.25 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run again.
