THE GOV (1) turned in a modest performance when 11th last time out over 5f at Murray Bridge, beaten 11 lengths after being in contention on the bend. That followed a win at Port Lincoln at the previous outing. Finds a more suitable contest and can get the job done. ARTISSI (6) finished seventh over 6f at Gawler at her most recent appearance on November 6. Rates highly and is likely to be prominent. PRINCE KURO (5) was out of the money when resuming from a lay-off last start over 6f at Strathalbyn, beaten 6 lengths after being in contention on the turn. Strips fitter and can figure prominently. WILLASTON (7) took advantage of the good draw last start and led for much of the way before finishing second, beaten 3 lengths, over 6f at Naracoorte. Has ability and a bold showing is expected.
