ARTISTIC DANCER (5) was out of the money when resuming from a lay-off last start over 6½f at Wangaratta, beaten 2.5 lengths after being in contention on the bend. Has a fair record when second up, including two top-three finishes. Tackling a more suitable race so she can play a big role. GAME THEORY (13) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when he got a long way back over 7f at Echuca, beaten 8 lengths into ninth. Has the ability to produce a better result. SUGAR AND Set Weights EET (2) has been kept fresh for this after he was strongly fancied last time but beaten 3.5 lengths into fifth over 7f58yards at Kyneton. Settles back early but winds up late. Should be competitive. MACOCHA (18) turned in a better run last start, beaten 1.3 lengths into fourth over 6½f at Bendigo. Nicely placed to find some form.
