Group 3 placegetter ATMOSPHERE (1) didn't do a bad job after being in the firing line on the corner to finish 0.8 lengths away in third last start over 6¾f at this track. That followed a when resuming win at Ipswich. Finds a suitable race and can go on to take this out. PLUNDERING (6) resumed last start over 5½f at this track and showed little early speed, settling well back but hitting the line hard to finish second, beaten 0.7 lengths. Sound record at this distance with two wins and four minor placings from nine runs and shapes as a key contender. SPIRIT QUEEN (14) is close to breaking through after finishing third last start over 6f at Eagle Farm. Finds a suitable race and can figure in the finish. DAYTONA (2) has been in the market at his last couple of runs but failed to threaten, the latest effort a modest seventh at Eagle Farm over 6f. Can improve and is worth including.
