Yarra River sets the standard in this maiden and George Benjamin has been running well in defeat but with both of those perhaps looking a little exposed in this company we side with CONCEPTUAL ART. Michael Bell's colt made a very promising debut when placing behind a couple of potentially useful sorts. He also beat home a subsequent winner that day so with the form stacking up we think he should improve and go in this time. George Benjamin is proving a little frustrating at present having found just the one too good in five of his seven career starts. He looks booked to give his running again but something might improve past him now. That's the same problem for Yarra River who is also yet to fulfil early promise while Primo De Vida was only just denied over course and distance last time so needs to be considered. Wadi Wanderer improved from his debut so could progress again but in a good looking maiden Conceptual Art looks the call.
