POETS ARTISTRY (3) is a progressive type still in first campaign but off to a great start to career. In top form including recording back to back wins, the latest scoring over 1m at Wodonga. Was a winner at only try at the journey and looks hard to beat again. ZENTORNO (11) has been out of the money at his last couple, the latest in city class when ninth at Caulfield, beaten 12 lengths. Forgive the last couple in tougher assignments. Can bounce back. BALLON D'OR (1) improved sharply on her fifth two starts back at Kyneton with a win over 1m at Donald three weeks ago, getting home by a long neck after being in the firing line on the corner. Goes up a rung or two but she is capable of another big run. EN FLIQUE (13) came home strongly last start to finish third, beaten 1. 1 lengths, over 7f at Albury when resuming after a break. Change of jockey to Lachlan King who has a strong record when aboard with a win and three placings from four rides. Can play a role in the finish.
