Dimora Queen should lead at a strong tempo. See no reason to jump off DIMORA QUEEN (12) who has been dominant at her past two, winning by 4.5 and 4 lengths, scoring in good time at Kilmore over 1204m last start. This is no doubt a sterner test but she does drop 2.5kg and can measure up nicely. CHEERSTOTHAT (3) is a stablemate to Dimora Queen who is also in great form, resuming with a solid win at Werribee having also won both runs last time in. Tough draw for the apprentice but she's hard to knock. EXCESS (4) hasn't really put it together this time in but she was better at Mornington last start. Unproven at 1200m and drawn wide is the knock but on her day she's well up to this. SUPERSET (5) is racing consistently and should be thereabouts while AMERICAN LIAISON (2) was a narrow winner last time and is in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Dimora Queen to win.
