ANTIQUE QUEEN (9) turned in an eye-catcher last start over the mile when she wound up late to grab third. Sparingly raced mare who was beaten just 1.3 lengths in a Listed race last prep. Strips fitter and out to this more suitable journey she looks the testing material. LONG GENES (4) has been a bit hot and cold of late. Good effort two back over the mile at Pinjarra Scarpside then failed to get the 2200m here a fortnight ago. Draws the fence and worth another chance coming back in distance. MAGIC WHISTLE (7) raised a few eyebrows when he raced on the speed and scored over 1600m at Pinjarra Scarpside recently. Yet to land a blow in eight runs at Ascot which is a concern, but the last effort had merit so he cannot be ruled out. I DREAMED A DREAM (3) enjoyed the step up in distance and scored here on New Year's Day. Handy type with further improvement to come at the fourth run back. WHY ME (6) is racing very well and should be thereabouts again on a seven-day back-up.
