Solid tempo with Any Questions possessing enough dash to find the front.
The Kris Lees-trained BRITISH GEM (7) is back after a four-month spell. Best effort last prep was a second at Doomben over 1350m when second-up from a spell. Will be too good for these if she finds that form. DAME DIVIDEND (10) settled towards the tail then found the line well to be beaten under two lengths over 1350m at Wyong last time out. Promising signs that day and in this weaker maiden she comes right into calculations. HARRY'S BOY (4) looked to have his chance but may have found 1200m a bit slick on debut recently at this track. Worth another chance over an extra 100m today. VLTAVA (5) returned from a 19-week spell and was having his first run for the Joel Wilkes stable when a close second over 1280m at Muswellbrook last start, coming from a seemingly hopeless position. Looks to have turned the corner and is one to watch for late in proceedings. CZECH HER OUT (9) next best with the help of the inside alley. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing British Gem.
