BOBBY SHIRAZ (3) is yet to fill a placing in two runs since resuming from a lay-off, the latest when 14th over 1m at Newcastle after he settled well back. Untried at this journey but strips fitter and is expected to feature in the finish. O'ZIGGY (5) pushed forward from a wide draw when fresh from a lay-off last time out and was prominent for a long way before fading to finish ninth over 1m at Newcastle. Will go forward and is expected to be in the finish. MARENARO (4) has switched yards since finishing seventh seven-and-a-half weeks ago over 1m at Kembla Grange. Kept ticking over with a recent trial at Hawkesbury. Worth plenty of thought. QUEEN OF DRAMA (9) was out of the money two runs back when fresh from a lay-off then again missed the frame last start over 1m at Gosford, beaten 5.5 lengths into fourth. Nicely placed to find some form.
