BACK: 11. Artistic Venture (WIN) for 2 units (Rated at $2.20)
ARTISTIC VENTURE resumes today. She should find this easier than her debut prep when she was competitive in group level races. The query is the wet track, but she maps well enough that her class should see her through. Her recent trials were very handy so she looks ready to perform well here fresh.

KEMBLA GRANGE PREVIEW AND TIPS | EXPERT TIPS | THURSDAY AUGUST 7TH 2025
RAIL: +6m Entire TRACK: Heavy 10
This track played fairly at the last meeting here on a heavy rated track. Runners were coming wide away from the rails in the straight, so with the rail being pushed out again here, expecting that the track should play similar to last time with runners coming wide in the straight.
1. Sirius Legend
8. Cellarmaster
3. Feazabeel
6. Precise Star
Betting Strategy
SIRIUS LEGEND looks the runner to beat here today. He was solid in a resuming run at Randwick recently off the back off some handy trial work, this looks an easier race and he comes in fitter. CELLARMASTER looks the main dangers, he was handy on debut and could have improvement off that run. FEAZABEEL & PRECISE STAR are both on debut and look the best of the runners having their first start here today.
11. Savvy Hallie
1. I Am A Winner
8. Deep Affection
7. Crystal Conspiracy
Betting Strategy
SAVVY HALLIE resumes today, she looks the one to beat here resuming in maiden grade after she ran 2nd at Group 2 & Group 3 level prior to her spell. Her recent trials have been good and down at this grade she should be hard to beat but not keen to be betting at the short price on a heavy 10 track.
1. O’invincible
2. Mamushka
3. Tonkatsu Goddess
4. Pretty Sassy
Betting Strategy
BACK: 1. Oinvincible (WIN) for 1 unit
A couple of key scratchings play into the hands of OINVINCIBLE here given the race map now looks a lot more favourable. She maps to push forwards and likely controls the tempo of this race. She will likely appreciate the drop in grade at this today and fit 4th up into the prep looks the one to beat.
7. Your Not The Boss
1. The Extreme Cat
6. Wealthy Investor
3. Scissor Me Timbers
Betting Strategy
YOUR NOT THE BOSS is on the quick back up here and has decent form on heavy rated tracks, he maps well and should be prominent in the run so looks a strong chance with a good level of fitness. THE EXTREME CAT has looked a bit off from his better form he was producing last prep, but his last start he did look to get back closer to that better form. WEALTHY INVESTOR maps to race up on speed and be in a good position in run, dropping back to the 1400m shouldn’t be a concern here on this track. SCISSOR ME TIMBERS was handy when winning 1st up this prep, he gets back onto a heavy track which could see him recapture his best form.
2. Wild Thoughts
4. Iceman
3. Afloat
7. Forbidden Riff
Betting Strategy
WILD THOUGHTS won his maiden impressively last start as a short price favourite here at this track, he looks progressive enough to be capable of taking the step up in grade here. ICEMAN has strung together a couple of placings in a row now and looks close to a win, he brings in strong form lines around COLD BREW which may stack up at this level. AFLOAT is another last start winner who has previously ran well when 2nd up. Expecting FORBIDDEN RIFF should be fitter 2nd up here today so he should be around the mark based off that on this track.
12. Entitlement
3. Black Bugatti
11. Walk Like A Man
13. Pierro’s Girl
Betting Strategy
BACK: 12. Entitlement (WIN) for 1 unit
Looks close to a breakthrough win given she has placed in her last 3 starts. She should find this a slightly easier race than last start where she was strong enough through the line over the 2000m to suggest that with a softer run here she should again see out a strong race
1. Shirvington
4. Glenbower
2. Frontex
6. Mirra Impact.
Betting Strategy
BACK: 1. Shirvington (WIN) for 1 unit (Rated at $5.00) (SCRATCHED)
SHIRVINGTON resumes here today off the back of some handy trial form. He produced 2 wins in a row last prep before tackling a stronger race prior to the spell. Maps to race in a prominent position and looks the runner to catch if he can handle the heavy track which he is untested on.
11. Artistic Venture
6. Barbarossa
4. Vin Santo
9. Iniesta
