Queen Of Hawks and Gaspardo to take up the running at a strong tempo. AMARLIME (1) ran on powerfully to score comfortably over 1400m at Pinjarra last time out. She stays in the same grade but drops down to 1200m this time. William Pike sticks with her, and so do we. QUEEN OF HAWKS (7) trekked to Geraldton 17 days ago and got the job done by a short-head as an odds-on favourite. She will still be on the up with her fitness, and even in a stronger field, she can make her presence felt again. Stick with her. MAIN ACT (5) was a beaten favourite at Pinjarra last time out after racing keenly in the run. The drop back to 1200m will suit him, and with the advantage of the pole position, he can have a say in the outcome of this race. Follow your money. THINK LIKA WINNER (6) recovered from a slow start to rocket home and finish second here 12 days ago. He will be spot-on with his fitness third up and only needs the gaps to come at the right time to go one better here. SUGGESTED PLAY: Amarlime each-way.
