Verdict

QUEEN OF RUSSIA (6) has not raced since her debut back on April 11 when she finished ninth over 6 ¼f at Newcastle. Will find this assignment much easier and is capable of sharp improvement. KNIGHTS (4) is back from a spell of 11 weeks. Closed last prep with a fifth over 5f at Oak Park. Gets 4lbs off from the favourable draw and should be tough to beat. BELINDA'S RUBI (9) was prominent at the turn and finished third last start over 5f at Townsville, beaten 0.7 lengths. Ideally placed and is sure to give this a mighty shake. TOI TOI (10) finished second last time over 5f at Townsville when resuming from a spell, beaten 0.6 lengths. Strips fitter now and has the class to take this out.
