Pace only fair with Praise You rolling to the lead ahead of Alkebulan and Kamigamo. GRATIFICATION (1) was well in commission last start over 1400m at Dalby when third, beaten 5.5 lengths. Draws ideally and worth another chance. PRAISE YOU (3) returned from a break last start with a moderate eighth over 1300m at Gold Coast after travelling back in the field from the outset. Perfectly placed and is sure to play a pivotal role. KAMIGAMO (9) finished fourth at her last appearance over 1200m at Sunshine Coast on March 6 after she got a long way back in the run. Finds the right race and is worth consideration. CRYSTAL GARDEN (8) raced on the speed last time but couldn't finish the race off and clocked in fourth over 1400m at Gold Coast. Worth plenty of thought. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Gratification.
