ARCEE PHOENIX (8) is having his first run back from a break of 11 weeks. Closed the last prep with a win by 2.25 metres over 2200m at Cambridge Raceway. Goes very well when fresh and has scored on two occasions from three starts. Can settle just behind them and wait on the sprint lane. Likely to run a big race to kick off this campaign. HAROLD SMITH (6) was an impressive winner last start at Listed level over 2650m at Bendigo, getting home by 8 metres. Another big performance is on the cards. WATTS UP PARTYTIME (7) is flying at present with four successive wins to his name, most recently at this track two weeks ago. Big chance to keep the ball rolling. PARISIAN ARTISTE (2) is in the mix following a respectable second at his most recent appearance over 1720m at this track.
