Comments

AAP

Holding form. Secured second in a staggered finish this course over this trip. Can lead or take a sit. Rates highly.

ILB

Placed 2nd last time around here and facing a weaker grade. Has not missed the placings this preparation in 11 attempts and hard to fault at the trip. Smart type.

RP

Gave good account to finish second three weeks ago; has an impressive C&D record (three wins from four runs); plenty of appeal.

RSIS

Tidy run when 2nd last run here and taking on easier opposition. Been in the money 11 from 11 attempts recently and have to respect the form at this distance. Entitled to prove too strong for most of these.

Comments

AAP

Bolted in at Mt Isa two back. Gave good account at Cloncurry. Ticks the track and distance win box. Profiles well.

ILB

Was $6.50 and ran 4th last start at Cloncurry. Capable of a strong comeback and will appreciate the drop in grade. Expecting to settle positively. Expect support.

RP

Has scored over C&D; this is his level; good effort when beaten into fourth by 1½l over 1m at Cloncurry (handicap) 11 days ago; he should go close as is no stranger to the winners' enclosure.

RSIS

Was 11/2 and finished 4th last start at Cloncurry. Should bounce back and up against a less challenging field. Has plenty of early pace. Hayley Saunders provides some weight relief. Will go close today.

Comments

AAP

Safely held but not totally disgraced at Charleville. At optimum distance. Expect a lift on latest.

ILB

Started $3.00 and finished 4th last run at Charleville. May see an upturn in form and challenged by less formidable competitors. Should muster plenty of early toe. Solid claims.

RP

Came home fourth, beaten 9l, over 1m at Charleville (handicap) two weeks ago; brings winning C&D form to the table; recent form has a decent look to it; definitely of interest.

RSIS

Odds of 2/1 and came in 4th last time at Charleville. Has the ability to turn things around and matched against lesser competition. Displays good tactical pace. Worth a lot of thought in this race.

Comments

AAP

Sound performance in small field at Richmond for new trainer. Strips in better shape. Could add some value to exotics.

ILB

Amongst the placegetters when 2nd last run at Richmond and can find a nice position from the draw. Suited by the weight drop. Others much better.

RP

Posted respectable effort when beaten 1½l over 6f at Richmond (handicap) two weeks ago on debut for this trainer.

RSIS

Placed 2nd last time at Richmond and gets a favourable draw. Goes down in weight.

Comments

AAP

Failed to threaten at Cloncurry for new stable as an outsider. First time around Mt Isa. Needs to recapture form.

ILB

Started $41.00 and weakened to finish 9th last run at Cloncurry but has drawn to do little work. Yet to fire this preparation. Pass at this stage.

RP

Not always shown an awful lot since winning a maiden at Murwillumbah in January; was ninth of ten, beaten 11l, over 6f at Cloncurry (handicap) 11 days ago on debut for this trainer; hard enough to fancy.

RSIS

Was 40/1 and faded away to finish 9th last time at Cloncurry but gets the perfect stall. Struggling in recent runs.

AAP

Ran on okay without troubling at Cloncurry. Not fancied.

ILB

Jumped at $13.00 and improved late to finish 4th last start at Cloncurry and gets some weight taken off. Much prefer the look of others in this race.

RP

Respectable effort when fourth (Cloncurry) 11 days ago; has won over C&D.

RSIS

Odds of 12/1 and picked up some ground to run 4th last start at Cloncurry and carrying less weight this time.

Comments

AAP

Raced in back half and was never in a position to mount a serious challenge at Cloncurry. Can show more here.

ILB

Was $7.00 and ran 7th last start at Cloncurry but goes down in weight. Expected to settle towards the rear.

RP

Didn't run too badly when out of the frame at Cloncurry (beaten 7l) 11 days ago, behind The Wellian; others are preferred.

RSIS

At 6/1 ran 7th last start at Cloncurry but gets some weight taken off. Might have to make up considerable ground.

Odds correct as at 10:40 am AEDT. Odds can change.
