Impossible to tip against SHE'S AN ARTIST (5) who put up an outstanding performance here at her second start, booting clear to win by nearly four lengths off a similarly big win on debut. Gets in well again at the weights and deserves to be well into the red. She beat FIELDELO (8) easily here last time with Fieldelo starting $2.25 favourite on that occasion. Her win prior at Bendigo on the same day as She's An Artist was a better performance and she did work home well last time, but it's hard to see her turning the tables all the same. SOFT LOVE (4) brings a different form line having just missed behind an in form Salsa Fellow here last time. She's a good filly and back up to 1200m will suit. DUCHESS ZOU (9) has won two in a row, dominant at Geelong in BM64 grade last time. Harder here but has each way claims. BRIDAL WALTZ (2) was behind She's An Artist & Fieldelo last time but is racing well.
