Chinqui, Bold Print and Verdoux to match motors but there will be other pressure. Tipping GALA QUEEN (7) has the ability to win this first up at 1100m. She went through the grades nicely last time in, a very good run in the Future Stars Series Final three back before getting out to 1600m and winning a stakes race in Adelaide. Fancy she's sharp enough to sprint well her. VERDOUX (11) resumes with a nice profile having never finished outside the quinella in five runs to date. He's won a jumpout leading in and Shinn goes on from barrier one. Strong chance. POP AWARD (10) resumes having gone unbeaten in three runs last time in. The form around her stacked up quite well, she should take beating again. CHINQUI (2) looks better suited coming back to 1100m having stuck on fairly here last start. Can roll forward and take catching. NAMESAKE (1) comes back in grade and should be hard to hold out late. SUGGESTED PLAY: Gala Queen to win.
