SLEUTH (5) was well supported last time out but disappointed in finishing seventh over 1m at Hawkesbury, beaten 8 lengths. Well placed on this occasion and gets his chance to break the ice. QUEEN OF DRAMA (9) showed good early dash and led for much of the way before weakening out of it when 6 lengths away in eighth over 1m1/4f at this track. Should be tough to rein in. IVANA (13) finished 5 lengths away in fifth last time out over 6f at Beaumont (Newcastle) three weeks ago. Tackles a longer journey this time. Backmarker who keeps coming. One of the contenders. FOOTSTEPSONTHEMOON (1) finished third last time over 7f at Sapphire Coast, beaten 0.6 lengths. In the right race and is sure to prove hard to beat.
