ARTIE STEAMER (1) broke his maiden last start over 1m at Gosford, scoring by 2. 5 lengths. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Capable of making it two on the trot. RULE OF FAITH (8) drifted well back last start before winding up strongly to finish third, beaten 3. 5 lengths, over 7½f at Newcastle. Expected to prove tough to hold out again. ARISTOCRAT (3) made progress last time out, finishing 2. 2. 5 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 1m at Nowra after being in the firing line on the bend. Has the ability to take this out. VELIA (6) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at Goulburn, finishing fourth and only 1. 1 lengths from the winner at the end of 1m. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
