Verdict

ARTPARK (6) is the one to beat on her best recent form, with the return to 6f a major positive given she has three wins and two placings from nine starts at the distance. Her Naracoorte run as favourite was below market expectations, but the prior Hamilton fifth on soft ground was sound and Taylor Johnstone has already won on her. Key runner. ATTAIN (2) brings the strongest latest placing, running second in metro company at Morphettville after being tightened early and still finishing into the money. He is proven at 6f and looks well placed despite another big weight. Can feature. SPORTS CHOICE (9) rises from a BM52 at Mildura and faces harder company, yet she is holding form, gets a 4lbs claim and has a reliable place record at the trip. Include. ALL SHOT (1) comes back from metro grade after charging home late at Morphettville, and his previous win at this track and distance keeps him in calculations if he handles the top weight.

6	Was a beaten favourite at Naracoorte last start, finishing seventh over 7f without a clear excuse, but this looks a better set-up back to 6f where she has three wins and two placings from nine starts. The Hamilton fifth two back on soft ground was sound, and Taylor Johnstone has won on her before. Last start was below par, but this set-up gives her a strong winning chance. 1st Pick 6 Artpark Jockey: Taylor Johnstone Trainer: Paul Preusker J: Taylor Johnstone T: Paul Preusker	125	-	-	-	23%	7/2

2	Ran second at Morphettville last start, beaten just over four lengths after being tightened early, racing keenly and still covering ground from a rearward spot. His previous fifth in a BM62 at Horsham was also sound at generous odds, so the recent form has substance. Proven at 6f and suited back in easier company. 2nd Pick 2 Attain Jockey: Shayleigh Ingelse Trainer: Raharna Mcdonald J: Shayleigh Ingelse T: Raharna Mcdonald	165	-	-	-	23%	7/2

9	Placed in a BM52 at Mildura last start, beaten three lengths, and now steps from picnic company into a harder meeting. The class rise is genuine, but she has been holding her form, gets a 4lbs claim and has one win and eight placings from 18 starts at this distance. Can contest for a place. 3rd Pick 9 Sports Choice Jockey: Jemma Gutte Trainer: Garret Lynch J: Jemma Gutte T: Garret Lynch	123	-	-	-	6%	16/1
