What a race this is. The Queen of the west comes to Sydney to chase more G1 glory in the big spring features and she kicks off in this 1300m G2 sprint. Early speed from DEPLOY and BALLER, with TOM MELBOURNE pushing forward too should make sure the tempo is FAIR, which is so important for the chances of the fav'. ARCADIA QUEEN is a long-striding type that is world class over 1600m, it all depends on what she can produce over the shorter distance. She'll be strong late! Another Queen from the east is the forgotten horse , VOLPE VELOCE a genuine G1 sprinter that should relish powering home at Rosehill Gardens. TROPE the other key winning chance coming to a track he should love too with more upside. TOM MELBOURNE, BALLER and REDOUBLE all capable of getting in the finish too. ZOUSAIN and GEM SONG big watches in the yard. [updated 8:13am]
