A keen contest with Quality Miss prominent courtesy of the rails draw, joined by Aratiri and Guru Class. YELLOWHAMMER (1) resumed improved beaten a whisker here from the pace. She keeps the handy 3kg claim and is proven second-up. With average luck, she can go one better. STRIKE THE HEART (4) resumes off a comfortable Eagle Farm Maiden win over a mile. She missed a whisker at the Sunshine Coast resuming last time over 1000m and has trialled well at Deagon. The 2kg claim brings her right into it. SHORE TO HAPPEN (6) was outgraded at Eagle Farm, but was a big winner here prior, in this grade. Has a 3kg claim and is a chance to bounce. UNDER THE PALAIS (2) has been racing in stronger and rates well enough to consider. The winkers go on again, and the 3kg claim is also handy. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Yellowhammer.
