SELECTIONS: HANORA (6), DIAMONTY QUEEN (2), SEASIDE LADY (4), TALKBABYTALK (1)
OVERVIEW: Difficult maiden to be confident in, but HANORA (6) looks handy enough from the trials and gets a suitable event to debut in. She chased home the smart Midnight Moth for second at her first trial in late March and was well beaten by Colosimo on May 13, but they did run a very slick last half. Not sure where she ends up from the gate, but I’d expect her to perform well. DIAMONTY QUEEN (2) was third on debut at Melton in February and ran a solid second at her most recent trial as she prepares for a return, SEASIDE LADY (4) has good gate speed and will be right in this if she leads, while TALKBABYTALK (1) has a good draw and shouldn’t be too far away.
