QUEEN CHRISTINE (8) made a strong late bid but just failed to pick up the winner when fresh from a lay-off as favourite last start over 6f at Warrnambool. Will take a lot from that hitout. Won't find this as tough so she will be hard to beat. DRECK (2) returned last time with a solid third at Warrnambool over 6f. Beautifully placed and is sure to give this a mighty shake. UPOLU (6) missed the placings two starts back when resuming then ran a better race and finished 2. 25 lengths away in fourth last time out over 6f at Warrnambool. Has the talent to figure prominently. SHADES OF STARDOM (5) is back after a break of five-and-a-half months. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 6f at Warrnambool. Definite top-three chance.
