|---|---|---|---|---|

Expecting Quartz Queen to set a strong tempo off the inside along with Ali Nel. QUARTZ QUEEN (11) is returning from a spell of three months. Finished seventh at Te Rapa over 1200m at the first run last prep. Now with a new trainer Kelly Shearing. Rates highly so expect her to be prominent. ABIT SASSY (12) was a good run at last start. Racing better than it seems. Chance here. ALI NEL (6) improved last time out, finishing third at the end of 1200m at this track. Ideally placed and is sure to give this a mighty shake. INTREPID GIRL (9) was distant here at last start. Has run okay in four of five starts for a new yard. Not out of this. MEGALOMANIAC (2) impressed at his last start. Has ability and is a trifecta and first four chance. SUGGESTED PLAY: Quartz Queen is a win wager.
