MOANING SIMONE (2) was well backed last start but ran below expectations when fourth (27.23), beaten 4.5 lengths. Boasts a strong record from this draw with two wins and two minor placings from five starts. Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. GOTHIC QUEEN (1) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing fifth (27.69) last time in an A7 at this track. Has a good record at this journey. Warrants plenty of respect. COOLRUSS IZZY (6) jumps from trap 6 for the first time after placing latest at this track (27.04) in an A7. Has a good record here at this journey. Overdue and expected to feature again. DA DANNA (3) has ability and can feature with the right run after missing a cheque here most recently.
