RACE COMMENT
CHEVRON ART (4) was a beaten favourite here last time but was only 2m from the winner and draws a little closer to the pegs. Recorded a series of top-three finishes prior including a win at this circuit and a placing behind superstar Swayzee in the Renshaw Cup. Top chance. SPECULATING (3) did a good job to lead from the outside barrier before digging deep to get home over this distance here last start. Goes up in grade but is better served by this barrier. RAVISHING SLOY (9) draws wide but is back in form including a win the last time he raced here two back. Go well. CRAFTMANS CHARLIE (8) only beat one home when fresh but he usually improves second-up and he had good form here last campaign so looking for a better showing. CAULONIA COURAGE (7) deserves respect after winning two of his past three outings here.
