VANCOUVER QUEEN (8) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 6½f at Rockhampton, beaten 4.5 lengths into tenth after being in contention on the turn. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. READY TO BOOM (7) recorded a strong maiden win over 6f at Sunshine Coast last time, getting there by 2.25 lengths. Looks well placed and she cannot be discounted. MOOTESSA (6) is a four-year-old mare who is having her first run for the Wayne Nugent barn. Resumes after finishing ninth at Stony Creek at her last run four months ago. Fitter for a trial win at Toowoomba Inner Track and looks nicely placed. Among the leading chances. PARUES (20) returns from a layoff of four-and-a-half months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a lay-off last prep over 6f at Kilcoy. Sure to make his presence felt.
