INLANDA (11) closed off strongly last start to get up for third, beaten 1.4 lengths, over 5½f at Warwick when coming back from a lay-off. Can go on with it. HEROIC CHIEF (6) missed the placings two runs back then didn't feature last start when 2.75 lengths away in fifth over 6f at Sunshine Coast. Faces an easier assignment so he is one of the main contenders. DIAMOND LASS (10) turned in a strong performance when resuming when in the money at Ipswich but disappointed last time when ninth, beaten 6 lengths, at Ipswich over 4f. Finds a suitable assignment and can bounce back. ENCRYPTED ELEGANCE (8) resumed two weeks ago over 4f at Ipswich and was only beaten 1.75 lengths into fifth. Fitter and sure to run well.
