RAN NA LADY (9) finished second, beaten one length, when resuming from a lay-off last start over 4f at Kilcoy after she was in the firing line on the turn. Taking on a better field but she is good enough to take this out. TUANAKI CREEK (4) is a 15-start maiden who could only manage to finish tenth at his latest appearance over 5f at Dalby. This looks a nice race so expect him to be right in the finish. QUEEN NINA (7) went forward last start over 5f at Roma and held on well for third, beaten 6 lengths. Finds a tougher race but she has the ability to test this field. ARTELUCE (1) is a four-year-old gelding who is having his first run for the Taryn Churchill yard. Hasn't raced since finishing 11th at Canberra ten months ago. Ran fourth in a trial at Muswellbrook over 4f and is in a nice race. Has to be respected.
