DAZZLING DIAMOND (11) missed a whisker here before the spell and was quickly back on track, beaten 2L at Ipswich second-up. She maps well and has been freshened. She has more to give and is ready to win. PEARL IN HAY (5) has placed 6/7 and was beaten 1.3L at the Gold Coast first-up, heavily bet. She's further improved and has been kept on the fresh side. Strong claims. DASHING HOPE (2) resumed at Doomben and didn't have the best of it. Has the inside gate and the first-time tongue tie applied, and can go better. SPRING BIRD (7) resumes for the local Kendrick yard, and the recent trial win here suggests she will return improved. Has gate speed and the 2kg claim is handy. The betting will be key with her, as it will with the debutants.
