A solid tempo on the cards with Prague's Knight leading the way. QUEEN CHRISTINE (8) caught the eye with a strong finish first up at Warrnambool, finding the line strongly to be beaten half a length over this trip. She was knocking on the door last preparation too and looks to have found an ideal race to be breaking through. DRECK (2) also presents second up through the same race, finishing third behind Queen Christine there. Has a length to make up there but draws for every hope and can win. UPOLU (6) finished fourth in the same race but did have the benefit of a run under his belt. He draws nicely and is in the mix again. SHADES OF STARDOM (5) resumes having shown some ability last time in, he can sprint well fresh. SUGGESTED PLAY: Queen Christine to win.
