Lay-off last start when third over 7f at this track, beaten 0.7 lengths. Fitter for recent racing so she is among the leading chances. OWN THE QUEEN (4) was last at the races when she finished 13th over 1m4f in the G2 WATC Derby at this track on April 13. Strong chance to kick the campaign off on the right note. FAST FLICKER (6) was prominent through the early and middle stages but peaked on her run and finished fourth when resuming over 7f at this track last start. Has never been out of the placings at this stage of the prep. Goes well at this distance with four wins and a placing from seven starts and is expected to be competitive. SISU WARRIOR (1) is back at the races for the first time since May 11. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a lay-off last time in work over 6f at this track. Yet to win when resuming but generally runs well with two minor placings from three tries. Definite top-three chance.
