Seven classy\u00a0fillies will go postward in this week’s Queensland feature, the Grade I Brisbane Distaff<\/STRONG>, fashioned at a mile and a half over the lush Holyghost Turf Course.<\/STRONG>\u00a0\u00a0 Presenting the starters in post position order:<\/P>

Breaking from the hedge is Tigereyes stable’s talented stalker, Band Out Of Boston<\/STRONG>.\u00a0 The four year old Dixieland Band filly is just a\u00a0bit shy of half a million dollars in career earnings.\u00a0 She is coming into this event off an easy score in New Mexico’s Quest For Gold II Stake, also contested at a mile and a half on the turf.\u00a0 On Saturday she’ll be reunited with jockey Steve DeBerg who guided her to victory in Queensland’s Stormy Affair Challenge earlier this year.\u00a0 This locally based graded winner looms a big threat over her home track.<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
Ocean’s Eleven<\/STRONG> is riding the crest of a two race win skein and seeks to make it three straight this weekend.\u00a0 Moonbeam’s big Sadler’s Wells filly\u00a0won both conditioned allowance\u00a0tests\u00a0in her patented front running style.\u00a0 This group is much tougher and Ocean’s Eleven needs to take a major step forward to contend.\u00a0 May make life difficult for the chalk if nothing else.<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
Impulsion<\/STRONG> has drawn the three hole.\u00a0 The Woodman lass is trained by noted marathon specialist Tbgifted.\u00a0 Impulsion has been a holy terror on the dirt and her only grass try resulted in a solid second place finish in an Ohio turf stake marathon.\u00a0 No question the filly\u00a0can get the trip.\u00a0 No\u00a0doubt her trainer is full of confidence.\u00a0 No way you can ignore her at the windows.\u00a0 Big shot in here.<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
Heart Rock<\/STRONG>(ire) had a five race winning streak come to a screeching halt last time out when she crashed and burned in the Grade I Gold Glass.\u00a0\u00a0This is a very nice filly who has two stakes wins to her credit already in only ten career outings.\u00a0 But Hakim’s Rock Of Gibraltar homebred\u00a0may need a bit easier company to get back on the winning trail as she is completely unproven in graded company and this field is very tough.<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
Next comes the impeccably bred (Gone West x Sadler’s Wells x Northern Dancer) Nag Of Notley<\/STRONG> from the Bunsay barn.\u00a0 She is graded placed in\u00a0each of her last two starts and the flashy chestnut has already won eleven turf stakes in her illustrious career.\u00a0 Nag Of Notley is a classic stalker and that looks like a good way to go\u00a0in a race filled with potential speed.\u00a0 Major factor.<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
A Gold City<\/STRONG> deserves her 6-5 morning line odds.\u00a0 She’s the lone millionaire in the field and the sole multiple graded winner.\u00a0 Besides that, she’s royally bred (Seeking The Gold x A.P. Indy x Slew City Slew), built like a brick house, and trained to the minute by veteran sharpie Stevemunoz.\u00a0 And she absolutely annihilated a good Grade I field last time out.\u00a0 So how can she lose?\u00a0 Well, her Achilles heel\u00a0may be her racing style.\u00a0 She’s a free runner.\u00a0 Loves a long and lonely lead.\u00a0 But in the past, when she’s faced a lot of pace pressure, she’s proved to be vulnerable in the late going.\u00a0 Can she make the top and hold ’em all off?\u00a0 Tune in Saturday.<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
Here’s the wild card.\u00a0 Rage More Piper<\/STRONG> is an enormously talented filly with a ton of early speed.\u00a0 She recently won five consecutive races in front running style including a 48-1 upset in the Grade I G.S.R. Cup.\u00a0 Then she flopped miserably in the Gory Blue Memorial when unable to gain control.\u00a0 So crafty trainer Pm2 apparently ordered jockey Todd Johnson to rate\u00a0her well off the pace in her last start, the Grade II Empire State in New York.\u00a0 The strategy paid off when Rage More Piper closed like a bolt from the blue to narrowly miss after passing seven rivals and making up ten lengths in the lane.\u00a0 If she runs with A Gold City and Ocean’s Eleven early, it may set the race up for a closer.\u00a0 If she rallies from behind again, the finish could be very interesting.<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
Come out early!\u00a0 Pony rides, clowns, balloons and face painting for the kiddies and free milk,\u00a0coffee and doughnuts for all in the Holyghost Cafe from nine o’clock A.M. until noon.<\/DIV><\/DIV>
