Queen's Sacrifice has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. CLEVER COMBAT (5) went to Toodyay last start and was only fair, beaten as a 3-1 chance over 1350m. He drops back in trip now where all of his best ratings are and he still has upside being lightly raced. Watch for him storming home over the top at the finish. SPARKLE CORNER (3) resumes without a trial, though he was effective here throughout last campaign. Jade McNaught rides now and with improvement expected, he'll be thereabouts. SKY VIEW (9) was strong when first-up at Ascot last campaign. Can run a bold race with Carbery in the saddle first-up. DAIYAMONDO (6) can improve on what she showed us fresh. SUGGESTED PLAY: Clever Combat gets the nod.
