ARTELIMAR (5) improved sharply on his seventh two starts back at Taree with a win over 1600m at Dubbo a month ago, getting home by 1.3 lengths after being prominent at the corner. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat again in this suitable race. INTOXICATION (10) finished fourth two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1262m at Taree, beaten only a neck. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. DAMASCUS GATE (3) was given time to settle from an outside draw last time then wound up strongly in the straight for an eye-catching third over 1600m at Dubbo. Will be tough to stop again. GOLDEN HONOUR (2) ran fourth at his latest appearance over 1300m at Beaumont (Newcastle), finishing 4 lengths from the winner. Has a sound record here with two wins from three starts. Must be respected.
