VIENNA ROSE (7) finished 3.5 lengths from the winner in fourth last start over 4f at Warwick, an improvement on her seventh at Lismore the run before. Tackling a deeper field this time but she is up to the task. MISS ZERMATT (2) was safely held when eighth last time out over 5½f at Ipswich, beaten 11 lengths after being in the firing line on the turn. That followed a win at Beaudesert at the previous outing. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. TOP BIRD (4) displayed plenty of early toe over 5½f at Murwillumbah last time and dug deep to score by 2.25 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. RUSSIAN DIVA (3) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 4f65yards at Gatton, beaten 4 lengths. Placed to advantage so anticipating another big run.
