ALINEA (5) resumed from a lay-off last start with a sound third over 5f at Hawkesbury after being in contention on the bend. Meeting a deeper field this time but she deserves her chance. QUEEN'S RHAPSODY (1) turned in a good effort on debut four months ago when one length away in second at Randwick Kensington over 5½f. Has not been to the races since that outing. In the placings in a recent Rosehill trial. Likely improver and should be in the finish. DORALEE (2) is a talented filly who was well held last time out in the tougher Reginald Allen Quality Hcp won by Aeliana over 7f at Randwick, beaten 13 lengths into 13th. Should park just off the speed. Sure to be competitive. CLOUD OF DUST (18) finished out of the money on debut two starts back then was beaten 4.5 lengths when fifth in a 5f contest at Wyong six days ago. Meeting a tougher field but on her best form she is capable of a big performance.
