In the small field Missin' De Quo and Instigate are expected to take up the running. INSTIGATE (2) returned from a spell three-and-a-half weeks ago when she was sixth over 950m at Cairns. Finds an easier assignment and can take this out. LADY DE VEGA (3) was in contention all the way and fought on well for second last start over 1250m at Cairns, making it two minor placings in a row. Has a strong finish. Finds a suitable assignment and can get the job done. VOLARE (5) is yet to break through in 19 runs but has been thereabouts. Placed two back then was 3 lengths away in fourth over 950m at Cairns last time. The blinkers go on. Has ability and expected to feature. VALADORE (6) is building towards her maiden success, the latest effort a solid fourth over 1000m at Townsville. Finds a suitable race and looks a place chance. MISSIN' DE QUO (4) has five placings from 11 starts this prep and could sneak a place with some luck. SUGGESTED PLAY: Instigate on top.
