<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>\u00a0<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>A field of fourteen locally trained three year olds will contest this middle distance test at Queensland on Saturday. The three main chances appear to be WHAT A STEAL 5\/1 from the mgprice stable looks the likely leader and could prove hard to run past in the stretch. HUSSONET RIVER 6\/1 from the bevroni barn is drawn well but will get back and need luck to get through the field. The filly DAMDITA is an improving type who has been retuning some very good SPs but will also get a long way out of her ground but at the odds of 12\/1 looks a good gamble. Below is a full rundown of each runner.
