AAP

Chased in a good effort at Townsville for new stable. Better for the outing and takes a 2kg claim. Best on top of the ground. Could give some cheek at odds.

ILB

Good run when placing 3rd last start at Townsville. Has shown early pace in races to date. Good chance and definitely has claims.

Was on the premises (third, beaten just over 2l) at Townsville over 7f (handicap) on his debut for this trainer 24 days ago; just the one win to his name.

RSIS

Was strong late when 3rd beaten by 2L last time at Townsville. Expecting to settle positively. Should go close.

Under a hold, only battled home at Gold Coast. Fit from racing, not out of this.

ILB

Underwhelming when 9th last time at Gold Coast but back in an easier grade. Gets the perfect draw.

RSIS

Average effort when 9th last time at Gold Coast but competing at a lower class. Will appreciate a good draw.

AAP

Mackay winner two back. Failed to flatter at Townsville. Highly rated despite the weight.

ILB

Jumped at $8.50 and mediocre display when 12th last start at Townsville. Jockey Ashley Butler and trainer Ricky Vale work well together. Has a credible chance.

Towards the rear of 14 at Townsville over 7f (handicap) last month; has won here; very interesting given he won a handicap two runs back.

RSIS

At 15/2 was nothing special when 12th last start at Townsville. Jockey Ashley Butler and trainer Ricky Vale are a strong team. One of the value chances in this race.

Snagged back and last at 400m before letting down late to just miss the minors at Gold Coast. Likes some juice in the track. Suited back at the provincials. Rates highly.

Started $19.00 and pushed past some when 5th last start at Gold Coast and competing in a less challenging grade. Rising in weight.

RSIS

Started at 18/1 and advanced late into 5th last time at Gold Coast and back in an easier grade. Will have to carry extra weight.

Now 5 weeks between runs. Drifted back, cut loose late at Toowoomba. Two of her wins were this distance. Can play a role with even breaks.

Put in a competitive run when placing 2nd beaten by 2L last run at Toowoomba and on an upward trajectory in recent races.

RSIS

Produced an eye catching run when 2nd beaten by 2L last run at Toowoomba and form has been improving over recent runs.

AAP

Outgunned but did enough for third at $7.50 at Thangool. Locally trained but has a tricky draw to contend with this time. Can make his presence felt with even breaks.

ILB

Showed a good turn of foot when 3rd beaten by 4L last start at Thangool. In good shape this preparation. Can go through the gears. Great chance.

Displayed a fair level of form when 4l third over 7f at Thangool (handicap) three weeks ago; last C&D win was nine attempts back and not won for some time now.

RSIS

Managed to run into 3rd beaten by 4L last run at Thangool. Finishes off strongly. Very competitive of late. Should put in a decent effort.

AAP

Third outing for new trainer/ this region. Determined effort to secure victory at Townsville. Goes into wider exotics.

ILB

Bold effort when winning last run at Townsville and getting better in recent performances. Likely to be well placed early. Respect the betting.

Landed a narrow success in a maiden, breaking his duck at the eighth time of asking at Townsville last month; appears to be on the upgrade judged on two most recent runs; he can make a bold bid.

RSIS

Rounded them up when winning last run at Townsville and getting better in recent performances. Likely to be well placed early. Not at all out of this race.

Backing up quickly. Last win was 16 Aug 2025. Honest performance without menacing winner at Twin Hills. Sterner task awaits.

ILB

Backing up quickly. Nice run when 3rd last run at Twin Hills. Facing a difficult task today.

Beaten just under 3l a week ago when sent off 11-1 at Twin Hills.

RSIS

Racing on a quick back up. Honest race when 3rd last time at Twin Hills.

Settled back and didn't figure in the F&M (Bm78) at Gold Coast. Remote place hope at best.

Average at best when 7th last time at Gold Coast but competing in an easier class. Bit of extra work to do with more weight.

RSIS

Unsatisfactory performance when 7th last run at Gold Coast but challenged by less formidable competitors. Hoping that the added weight won't hurt.

Kept on in busy finish at Emerald. Well into preparation now, warrants attention.

ILB

Jumped at $9.50 and showed some merit late when 4th last run at Emerald. Not at all out of this race.

Gave it a good shot when a close fourth (Emerald) last week; running consistently; the trainer is going well; her best form stacks up so can't be ruled out.

RSIS

Was 17/2 and moved ahead of some to finish 4th last start at Emerald. Betting is the best guide.

Steps out for third run new stable/region. Ridden back, battled home without threatening at Townsville when second-up. Winner this trip. Stripping fitter, can make her presence felt.

ILB

Odds of $1.80 and basic showing when 10th last run at Townsville but will try to take advantage of the draw. Will be trying to topple them late. Has every chance.

Useful in this grade; favourite when towards the rear of 13 in a conditions race (Townsville) last month.

RSIS

Started 4/5 and underwhelming when 10th last run at Townsville but gets a favourable draw. Will be hitting the line strongly. Alisha Taylor stable are in good form of late. Winning potential.

Odds correct as at 11:10 am AEST. Odds can change.
