Verdict

SARAH'S SONNETS (7) accounted for a maiden field in fine style over 1m at Gatton last start. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Suspect she relishes the rise in trip and makes it two on the bounce. QUICK SHOT (6) battled away gamely into a midfield finish at Eagle Farm last start. Steps up in journey and has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Can give this a big shake. QUALITY MISS (5) has been in the placings her past two starts, finishing third over 1 ¼m at Gatton last time out. Strips rock-hard fit and doesn't need to improve much to feature again. FLEE WITH ME (8) chases the elusive maiden win but holds place claims down in the weights.
