Race comment

OVERVIEW: ORION ART (7) is a first starter here. He was third at a recent trial where the winner was the Alex Ashwood-trained Boystrous, who the stable has a very strong opinion of. Orion Art was flat out in that trial, but they did run home in 27.7 with a mile rate of 1:57.4, a time that is more than competitive in a maiden like this. Barrier seven is awkward, but he will at least have time and space to settle early. JUST LIKE NUGGET (4), on exposed form, has the best sectional times in this field, although his numerical form doesn’t look great. His last start was better than it reads on paper, as he was last at the 600m and had to make a big run but still hit the line well, just too far back. He should be able to get forward into a good position here. LA SMOOCH (12) was first up last start when fifth at Shepparton and battled on okay in that run. His start prior, before his spell, was good when he had to do it tough at Kilmore and still finished third. He can make his own luck but will need to from barrier 12 over the short trip. BETTING ATTACK (9) has had one career start where he raced erratically, so it’s hard to assess his ability off that run. He has since had a spell and has won two trials on his return, including one at this track earlier this month. James Herbertson drove him there and although he looked a little green, he did everything right, hitting the line nicely with more to give. If he does everything right, he is a big winning chance, but manners are a query under race conditions. BACK: ORION ART (7) – 2 units (win)
