Maryborough Race 7 - Benstud Standardbreds Pace
ARTIST (2) went forward from a wide draw on the front row last start then hit the wall in the straight and finished tenth over 1710m at Ballarat, beaten 23 metres. Will enjoy a nice run from this more favourable starting position. Leading hope if anywhere near his best. ASSIGNED (9) scored at Kilmore two runs ago before having his colours lowered when eighth at his latest appearance over 1690m at Shepparton, beaten 10 metres. Good enough to put himself in the winners' stall. ASMILEANDAWINX (10) is on the radar after her last-start fifth over 2100m at Geelong nine days ago. MUSELET (7) disappointed last time out when seventh over 1700m at Horsham. Can atone.

Has won at his last two outings. Last start won by a nose when driven back in the field, (Fr5) held up early, at Shepparton (2:43.80) beating Tooram Danny in on October 6 at $14 at the bell was 2nd-3.21. Hard to leave out on current form. Will be about the money again.

Last start 10th (Fr6) over 1710m after showing early pace at Ballarat beaten 23 m by Our Pinup Girl (2:03.00) on October 1 at $4.80.
