Queen Of Hawks, Magic Belle and Hezangelic to match motors but there will be other pressure. MAI ALOHA (5) resumes and creates plenty of interest. She didn't fire in two runs last time in but they were both on rain-affected tracks over the Winter season which can be excused. She looked very sharp winning a recent trial by nearly three lengths and Pike goes aboard for the top Williams yard. QUEEN OF HAWKS (4) was an easy winner when last seen at Narrogin, scoring by 2.5 lengths. This is harder but she's speedy and should give a good sight again. MANTUA (1) struggles to win but the drop back to 1000m where all three wins have come looks a clear positive. He's going okay and has each-way claims. IF I DIN HAVADIME (8) tried hard first up over this route and should be better for it. She can be poking through late. HEZANGELIC (2) has speed and can give a sight back in trip. SUGGESTED PLAY: Mai Aloha to win.
