Arrogant Heart should spear straight to the front of the small field. FRAMED IT (1) has been in the placings at her last two, most recently when third over 950m at Cairns at her third run back from a break. Should be poised just off the lead. Will prove tough to beat. SPIRIT OF BLUEY (6) is back from a spell of six-and-a-half months. Closed last prep with a fifth over 1050m at Rockhampton. Expected to feature. ARROGANT HEART (8) last raced on April 9 when sixth at Cairns over 950m after racing in the leading division. Likely improver who should be about the money. WIRED FOR FUN (3) was ninth in a 1200m contest at Townsville seven weeks ago. Has her share of ability and is a top-three prospect in this suitable race. SECRET BOOM (5) include in wider plays. SUGGESTED PLAY: Framed It should be nice and fit fourth up and can get the win here.
