QUEEN OF THE MUD (8) did a good job last start to finish second in Listed grade at Monmouth Park (Turf) over 5½f, beaten 1.3 lengths. Should be at her peak now. Sure to go well. LOON CRY (5) saluted at the first run back from a lay-off last start over 7f at this track, scoring by 1.3 lengths. Has been given a let-up of seven weeks since that outing. Open to plenty of improvement and is expected to feature in the finish. Group 3 placegetter OWEN'S TOUR GUIDE (6) showed good early dash last time out and led for most of the way before being claimed and finishing 1.3 lengths away in second over 6½f in Group 3 class at this track. Well-placed and expected to feature again. QUEEN MACHA (3) bounced back last start and got the job done by 0.8 lengths over 7f at this track. Likely to be there at the finish again.
