AAP

In the minor spoils but still well held at Mt Isa over longer test. Drops to shorter trip. Rates highly.

ILB

Amongst the placegetters when 3rd last time at Mount Isa but coming back in distance. Can go through the gears. Should go close.

Could not manage better than third over 7f at Mt Isa (handicap) 13 days ago; in the mix with a bit more luck as excuses last time (tightened for room) and was a winner two starts ago.

RSIS

Placed 3rd last start at Mount Isa but will be down in distance. Will be trying to topple them late. Solid chance.

AAP

Never sighted at Emerald when second-up. Looks up against it.

ILB

At $101.00 was well beaten when 8th last run at Emerald. Likely to get back. Rough hope.

Finished last of eight (Emerald) last month; the yard has enjoyed plenty of winners of late; big player as shown he can get his head in front.

RSIS

Started 100/1 and didn't threaten when 8th last run at Emerald. Will be giving the leaders a big start.

AAP

Sound performance in small field at Mt Isa over today's trip. Smoky place prospect at best.

ILB

In the money when 3rd last run at Mount Isa and gets some weight relief. Running with confidence this campaign.

Resume shows that he is a proven winner (seeking a 12th career win); creditable effort (went off 12-1) to finish third at Mt Isa last month; not been able to get his head in front lately so others have more pressing claims.

RSIS

Did well when 3rd last start at Mount Isa and suited by the weight drop. In good form since coming back from a break.

Comments

AAP

Consistent lately in this grade. Sent forward and stuck to the task bravely in the Open Hcp at Ewan over this trip. Drawn out but has good gate speed. Fit from racing, right in the mix again.

ILB

Nice run when 2nd last time at Ewan. Very competitive this preparation. Definitely worth considering.

Running consistently; has won over C&D; missed out by half a length at Ewan last month.

RSIS

Looked good when 2nd last run at Ewan. Producing consistent results recently. Good prospects.

AAP

Pressed on early and stuck on well at Longreach. Has early speed. Coming back in distance. Deep into his campaign, capable of making an impact.

ILB

Although fading at the finish still placed 3rd last time at Longreach. In good racing form this preparation. Displays good finishing speed. Has the ratings to win this.

Has been fairly consistent lately; not beaten far over 6f at Longreach (handicap) last month.

RSIS

Displayed a strong effort throughout the race when 3rd last start at Longreach. Has a great burst of pace late. In top form since returning from a break. Should put in a decent effort.

Ridden back and never a factor at Ewan over today's trip. Has a tricky draw. Respect on previous sound form.

ILB

Started $11.00 and only fair when 6th last run at Ewan. Looking elsewhere today.

Track has proven suitable before; this is his grade; behind Cochrane (Ewan) when not disgraced 14 days ago; knows how to win so could be in the mix.

RSIS

At 10/1 below expectations when 6th last start at Ewan.

On the pace and just nabbed at Mt Isa. Can lead or take a sit. Well into preparation now, could get into the placings.

Narrowly beaten last run at Mount Isa and getting better in recent performances.

On a quick back-up. Knuckled down really well for a narrow win at Richmond over this journey. Sterner test here but can't rule out.

ILB

Racing on a quick back up. Snagged a narrow win last start at Richmond and will be aiming for a soft run from the draw. Competing at a higher grade. Facing a difficult task today.

Attempts to land a hat-trick and has managed six wins from 29 career runs; narrow scorer in a handicap at Richmond at the weekend; others more persuasive despite that win last time.

RSIS

Backing up quickly. Game effort to win narrowly last time at Richmond and has a nice advantage with a good draw. Unbeaten last 2 attempts but up in class.

AAP

On a quick back-up. Ordinary performance in small field at Jundah over this trip. First time around Cloncurry. Others more persuasive.

ILB

Backing up quickly for this race. Jumped at $41.00 and lacked competitiveness when 4th last start at Jundah and challenged by more formidable competitors. Should muster plenty of early toe. Won't find this easy.

Form has been a bit mixed lately; fair effort at Jundah on Saturday; others more likely given the strong opposition here.

RSIS

Backs up quickly. Odds of 40/1 and basic showing when 4th last time at Jundah and challenged by more formidable competitors. Has early pace and positions nicely.

AAP

Ex Adam Campton in QLD. Sent out $7.50 when unable to threaten at Toowoomba. Good draw. Expecting a stronger showing.

ILB

Odds of $7.50 and weakened under pressure when 7th last run at Toowoomba but can find a nice position from the draw. Will be positive in the run early. In the mix against these.

Beaten seventh of ten over 6f at Toowoomba (handicap) last month; has achieved three wins from 11 career runs; representing new yard today; is respected.

RSIS

Odds of 13/2 and weakened to finish 7th last run at Toowoomba but gets a favourable draw. First race for a new trainer. Should muster plenty of early pace. Very tidy performer.

Comments

AAP

Failed to threaten at Winton Aus over longer test. Awkwardly drawn. Drops to shorter trip. Looking elsewhere.

ILB

Below standard effort when 7th last time at Winton and challenged by a tougher grade. Down in distance. Hard to take.

Not disgraced in seventh over 7f at Winton Aus (handicap) last month; has won at this track; hasn't really fired since his success in a conditions race at Cloncurry last October; is passed over with a number of his rivals in good nick.

RSIS

Performed below standard when 7th last time at Winton and back in trip. Up against stronger rivals.

Odds correct as at 11:50 am AEDT. Odds can change.
