Strong tempo with Queen Of Hawks and Queen's Gift leading from Sanctions and Mighty Hosanna. QUEEN OF HAWKS (8) led them up over 1000m at Belmont on resumption and couldn't hold off the winner when favourite. Fitter now and the slight rise in trip is no issue. She was a second-up winner last campaign and from an inside barrier, she'll take plenty of beating. MIGHTY HOSANNA (6) was far too good first-up into the campaign, sitting on the speed and running away to bolt in by 3.8L. Chris Parnham hops off to ride Queen Of Hawks in an interesting move, but definitely one worth noting. Hard to ignore her latest effort and she'll be right in the finish. OCEAN GODDESS (4) was a 25-1 chance on debut but won sharply there. The rating out of that and the sectionals suggest it wasn't a fluke and she can sit closer this time from the better gate. Ticks a few boxes and can make her presence felt. SANCTIONS (5) will be better getting out to this trip and won't be far away. UUKHAI (3) can feature if he runs to recent efforts. SUGGESTED PLAY: Queen Of Hawks can go one better.
