QUEEN ARIANA (6) held her own to the line last start and filled a minor placing, beaten only 1.5 lengths (16.56) behind Nolas Jackon at this track. Capable of going well again. GIZMO PANTHER (5) beaten last start over the 268m at this track but finished in the minors in a decent 16.34. Should be in this for a long way. DEECEE SMILE (2) could manage only second at this track last time but turned heads when clocking a speedy 16.32 over 268m at this track the start prior. Top win two back and rates a key player again. QUEEN ETTA (3) was unplaced two starts ago then improved to score last time out at this track over 268m (16.43). Rises a grade but expected to measure up.
