EMBALLEE (8) sat on the pace last time and fought on well when a long neck away in fourth over 1m at Warwick Farm. Leading chance. COMMANDING ARTIST (3) showed good early dash and raced on the speed last start before fading to finish 0. 7 lengths back in fourth over 6¾f at Beaumont (Newcastle). Sure to be prominent from the outset. MICHELANGELO (10) turned in a modest performance when seventh last start over 7¾f at this track, beaten 8 lengths. That followed a good when resuming win at Wyong. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. SACRED MISTRESS (12) was in the money two starts back at Randwick but was unable to repeat the effort last time when 12th, beaten 4. 5 lengths, at Randwick over 1m. Well placed and should be about the mark.
