Ramones has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. QUEEN BESS (9) got a long way back last start over 1100m at Wyong and found it hard to make up ground. Has raced here twice at 1200m for two wins, the latest three runs back in this grade with just 1kg less. Profiles beautifully. LINGUEE (17) was unwanted in betting but put up a good effort to finish fourth when resuming last time out over this course and distance. Has a better second-up record so she looms as a serious contender. ONE DESTINY (3) struggled last start in better company over this trip at Wyong. Freshened up and he likes Gosford so a better run will not surprise. SLINKY (12) stepped up to Bm64 grade last time and was only beaten two lengths here at this trip after racing on the pace. Very fit and capable of a top-three finish. UNWRITTEN (8) caught the eye at the end of 1100m at Hawkesbury last start. Will be charging home. SUGGESTED PLAY: Queen Bess to win the last.
