AAP

Ex Dale Groves in QLD. Safely held but not totally disgraced at Warwick. Coming back in distance. Hope for exotics only.

ILB

Jumped at $12.00 and finished 6th last start at Warwick. Likely to bounce back but back to a shorter distance. Racing for a new trainer but rises in weight. Expect support.

Found life tough when 8l back in sixth at Warwick ten days ago in a handicap; 11th attempt to lose maiden tag; first run for trainer; a lot on his plate here and hard enough to fancy.

RSIS

At 11/1 ran 6th last start at Warwick. Happy to overlook that run but down in distance. First start for a new trainer. Winning chance.

Comments

AAP

Gave good sight filling the minors at Richmond over today's trip. Others rate stronger.

ILB

Tidy run when 2nd last run at Richmond and on an upward trajectory in recent races. Possesses very good finishing speed. Jason Miller takes a large claim. Will struggle to compete in this race.

Seems to be improving based on last two runs but defeats piling up (0-10); solid run when second at Richmond two weeks ago.

RSIS

Did well when 2nd last run at Richmond and getting better in recent performances. Displays very good finishing pace. The large claim from Jason Miller helps.

AAP

Coming off a career best placing. Pressed on early and stuck on well as a market drifter at Cloncurry. Building fitness. High on the shortlist.

ILB

Ran well when 2nd last time at Cloncurry. Should jump out and bowl along.

Remains lightly raced and seems to be improving based on last two runs; missed out by 1½l at Cloncurry over 5f (maiden) on debut for this trainer 11 days ago; a big player as recent display was promising.

RSIS

Finished 2nd last start at Cloncurry. Has good tactical pace and will be nicely positioned.

Comments

AAP

Unable to make an impression at Cloncurry for new trainer. Secures inside draw in small field. Respect on previous sound form.

ILB

Jumped at $2.30 and struggled with the pace when 5th last start at Cloncurry but has drawn the rails. Likely to be well placed early. Large claim helps. Definite winning chance.

Finished behind Oracle Of Omaha at Cloncurry over 5f (maiden) beaten 7l 11 days ago on debut for this trainer; has shown glimpses of ability recently and looks a likely player.

RSIS

Started 13/10 and didn't attack the line when 5th last time at Cloncurry but has a nice advantage with a good stall. Won't be far away during the run. Very tidy performer.

Comments

Let-up (45-days). In the frame last two. Secured second in a staggered finish at Prairie over this journey. Could spring a surprise.

ILB

Freshened for this. Honest race when 2nd last run at Prairie and displaying improvement over the past few runs. Has shown early pace in races to date. Capable type.

Fair second of seven (Prairie) last month; has kicked on in her last couple of races but has hit the crossbar on multiple occasions but remains without a win.

RSIS

Freshened for this. Placed 2nd last start at Prairie and on an upward trajectory in recent races. Should jump out and bowl along. Genuine claims.

Let-up (45-days). Ex D P Bracks in NSW. Failed to threaten at Hawkesbury for new trainer as an outsider. Keeping safe at first run for new stable.

ILB

Back from a freshen up. Jumped at $71.00 and faded to finish 10th last start at Hawkesbury. Coming to a new trainer. Very difficult to back.

Gone 11 races without a win; last of ten at Hawkesbury over 5f (maiden) last month; first start for stable; facing a testing assignment and others appeal more.

RSIS

Back from a let up. Started at 70/1 and weakened under pressure when 10th last start at Hawkesbury. Change in trainer.

Comments

AAP

Encouraging debut performance at Richmond 3 Oct. Hard to make a case.

ILB

Ran 3rd last start at Richmond and having second race start. Has a good draw. Worth a lot of thought in this race.

Some way behind the second, Macho Grande, at Richmond at 4-6 two weeks ago; one to take seriously.

RSIS

Claimed a spot in the placings when 3rd last time at Richmond and was a debutant last start. Will try to take advantage of the stall. No surprise to see solid support in the betting.

Odds correct as at 9:40 am AEDT. Odds can change.
