Finished Article, Evolve, Maria Antonia and Josh You Are are a handful against the field in another tricky race to call with the nomination going to the last named. The selection was given a very poor ride when only second behind Dalzago and with a professional now taking the ride he looks the one to be on. Finished Article has been in good form of late but that has been in claimers and he looks vulnerable off this mark back in handicap company. Evolve won a maiden in good style last time out when beating Can Can Star and should be closely watched in the market as he is unexposed. Maria Antonia was a good second behind Global Stratergy last time and is another with place claims. Of the remainder Vanishing Dancer is another last time out winner that could go well but in a race where few can be ruled out for the winner we return to Josh You Are who looks a value bet.
