ARTPARK (8) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 5 lengths when sixth over 1400m at Warrnambool two-and-a-half weeks ago. Ideally placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. VERBOSITY (2) finished sixth two runs back at Warrnambool then improved last time out to score by 4 lengths as favourite after being in the firing line on the corner over 1300m at Ararat. Likely to be there at the finish again. WORLD ACTION (7) was comfortably accounted for when seventh last time out over 1400m at Warrnambool, beaten 5 lengths. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Will enjoy a drop in class so she is a leading contender. CAPTAIN JOOLIAN (1) continued the good recent form when he finished just one length away in third last time out over 1414m at Mt Gambier. Will drift back but wind up late. Top three prospects.
