QUEEN MAXIMA (8) missed the placings when resuming recently but was not too far from the winner when fifth over 5f at Goulburn. Will find this a little tougher but should be in the finish. MEGHAN (6) resumed two weeks ago over 5f at Goulburn and was only beaten 1.3 lengths into fourth. Beautifully placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. ZAZEL (14) has been in the money two times including last start on December 8 when second over 6f at this track. Has a sound record here with two top-three finishes from three starts. Will be thereabouts. GETTY (1) finished 6 lengths away in sixth after being in contention on the bend at his last appearance over 5f at Gosford on December 7. Rates highly in this field and can turn things around.
