Arctic Legend to take charge ahead of Spirit Of Vomo at a good tempo. LONHRO'S QUEEN (10) lightly raced filly who got off the mark at start four with tough win over 1200m at Mudgee on March 31. Since fitted with a recent trial placing over 1000m at Scone on April 17. Confidence is high now and expected to go close again. ARCTIC LEGEND (2) returned for a dominant 2.25 len maiden victory over 1200m here on April 8. Has clearly strengthened up over the break and should have little trouble stretching out to the 1400m. EXTREME MERGER (1) has been a model of consistency this time in. Due for a change of luck after covering ground from the wide gate when a tenacious second as favourite over 1200m at Moree on April 2. Drawn out again and has a good record over the 1400m. AUTOFOCUS (9) returned good figures at second race start when a slick maiden winner over 1300m at Moree on April 2. A lot to like about her win last start and should cope with the rise in grade today. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 10,2,1,9.
