Race Tip

COMMANDING ARTIST (2) battled on well to hold second last start over 7f at this track, beaten 0. 8 lengths. Likely improver with strong prospects. SMART CRY (5) is progressing well this campaign. Opened with a fifth at Beaumont (Newcastle) two starts back then got the job done by a nose last time out over 6¾f at Beaumont (Newcastle). Must raise the bar but another win beckons. OKAMI STAR (11) hasn't won recently but looks close to a breakthrough based on his last start third at Canterbury over 1m1 1/2f when beaten 1. 5 lengths. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. One of the main contenders. TAVOLO (3) was a winner over 7½f at this track last time out, dropping out early before coming home with a powerful run to score by a head. Will be doing her best work late.
