On Articus, it's best not to underestimate German form these days. They don't have the depth, but their better horses tend to be pretty competitive.
I discounted Magic Artist last year, and his form didn't look any better than Articus's form. He would've won the MacKinnon with even luck and he was very competitive in the Emirates Stakes.
It's not a vintage Caulfield Cup. This guy's been very competitive in German WFA races. He's won over 2000m on 4 occasions. He's won twice and been placed once on good tracks.
I'll be surprised if he's not very competitive on Saturday. But i agree he's well found at $7.50.
magic artist also had both starts at flemington against weaker horses. Caulfield's a different beast. i've been what i consider generous and still have him about $18 and most overrated horse in early markets with Tally being the other.
