Arts is the only horse in this race from the Sydney autumn carnival. She won the Adrian Knox by a widening four lengths on a bog track at 2000m, but then wasn’t the same horse a week later in the ATC Oaks at 2400m when jumping equal favourite and battling into fifth.

Is Arts just a wet-tracker? Did she not stay 2400m and is suited back in distance here? Is she already at the end of her debut prep? There are a few questions to be answered, but she just might be better than them all.

She’s Fit is a Perth filly extending her preparation into a seventh start, off the back of interstate travel to boot. Trainer Daniel Morton is no dill though, Craig Williams is a key booking, and there’ll be no fitter horse in the race at 2000m given she is coming off three 2200m-2400m runs including a WA Oaks win.

Amati looks the blow-out hope at bigger odds, and not just because of the lethal Chris Waller and Mick Dee combination. She has had two forget runs either side of a Stakes placing to the very handy Papillon Club, and shouldn’t have any issue with 2000m. How many times have we seen Waller pop up with a forgotten horse in these races?
