Another very low-class affair but Jim Bolger looks to have found an ideal opportunity for COOL ARTIST (NAP), who was making her handicap debut and returning from a long break when chasing home Belclare Boy at Gowran. Lady Ranger has managed a victory at Gowran and is now on a lower mark after struggling subsequently while Dressednblack hasn't been beaten far in either of her starts since returning from a long break. Apache Gold has won six times and though not since 2015 he occasionally produced the sort of run that would see him go close.
