METRIC MARI (1) turned in a fair 4th placed finish last time at this track over 462m (28.70). Rates on top in this line up. REAL QUEEN (2) is a talented type and proved too classy last time to win by 3 lengths at this track in a handy 16.27 beating Laylas Friend. One of the prime contenders. CRYSTAL WILLOW (3) comes off a (16.40) win last time, scoring by a nose in a D3 over 268m at this track. Looks one of the chances. QUEEN ARIANA (5) followed a minor placing two runs ago with a plain effort last time to finish fourth, beaten 3.5 lengths, in a D3 at this track over 268m (16.72). Easier here and no surprise to see her back in form.
