Global Art still looks in the handicapper's grip and the winner should come from the top three, all of whom are in consistently good form. Juneau looks like being one of Mark Johnston's busy summer handicappers as he thrives on his racing and has conditions to suit. He's sure to be in the shake-up along with Berlusca, most impressive when scooting away to land a course and distance success on his penultimate start. However, he found life tougher next time when well beaten by BROKEN FORCE, who can confirm placings despite a major swing in the weights here. The Burke gelding was beaten next time up by Matchmaking who looks a major Sir Mark Prescott moneyspinner in the making in future weeks. Conceding 8lb to Matchmaking and going down by half a length was a fine effort.
