Comments

AAP

Let-up (48-days). All honours in the small field at Bundaberg. Harder test now.

ILB

Back from a freshen up. Did a good job when winning by 2 1/2L last time at Bundaberg and on an upward trajectory in recent races. Place hope.

Won a handicap by 2½l at Bundaberg last month; has won over C&D; others have more pressing claims despite that win at Bundaberg.

RSIS

Back from a let up. Was all too good winning by 2 1/2L last time at Bundaberg and getting better in recent performances.

Comments

AAP

First-up (14-weeks). Can pull out a run fresh while showing enough in recent trials. Decent alley and can handle the synthetic surface. Capable of making an impact fresh in this affair.

ILB

Resuming after a spell. Finished with intent when 2nd beaten by 1L last start at Gold Coast and up against a less competitive field. Archie Mccolm provides some weight relief.

RSIS

First run back after a break. Ran home into 2nd last time at Gold Coast and competing at a lower level of competition. Archie Mccolm takes a large claim.

AAP

Gave a good sight making the frame at Sunshine Coast. Winner at track and distance. Highly rated in this line-up.

ILB

Picked up late ground when 3rd last run at Sunshine Coast and can find a nice position from the draw. Tiffani Brooker has multiple wins aboard. Has to be in the finish.

Produced an encouraging effort (third of eight, beaten just over 2l) over 5f here (handicap) when ahead of King Of The Jungle 14 days ago; unbeaten over this C&D after two runs; a major contender.

RSIS

Improved to place when 3rd last start at Sunshine Coast and can find a nice position from the draw. Jockey Tiffani Brooker has been successful aboard previously. Worth strong consideration.

AAP

Solid run 3yo+ Plate (C5) at Sunshine Coast 2 Oct. Failed to threaten at Eagle Farm second-up. Winner at only other start at Sunshine Coast Poly. Stripping fitter, has some claims.

ILB

Started at $14.00 and tailed off to finish 7th last run at Eagle Farm. Giving another go here and matched against less formidable competition. Should be going forward early. Should be in the finish.

Missed the frame (beaten 8l into seventh) at Eagle Farm over 5f (handicap) last Wednesday; specialist here with five wins; should figure.

RSIS

Started 13/1 and faded away to finish 7th last start at Eagle Farm. Has the ability to turn things around and challenged by less formidable competitors. Serious contender.

AAP

On a quick back-up. Sent forward, outgunned late but boxed on at Sunshine Coast. First time synthetic. Well into preparation now, can make his presence felt.

ILB

Backing up quickly. Came on strongly to finish 2nd last time at Sunshine Coast on a heavy rated track and can save some energy from the draw. Must be considered here.

Went close when runner-up here over 6f (handicap) last week; one to consider as latest run was an encouraging one.

RSIS

Backs up quickly. Finished with intent when 2nd beaten by 1L last start at Sunshine Coast and drawn nicely. Should get going late. Rates as one of the key chances.

Racing with conviction. Started $2.70 when sent forward and narrowly prevailed (Bm65). Can lead or take a sit. Shapes as a major player again.

ILB

Backs up quickly. Started at $16.00 and mediocre performance when 9th last start at Eagle Farm. Going well this preparation.

RSIS

On a quick turnaround. Started 15/1 and disappointing effort when 9th last start at Eagle Farm.

AAP

Got the wobbles late after leading at Sunshine Coast. Drawn well. Placed only other time here. Warrants attention.

ILB

Started at $18.00 and came in 4th last time at Sunshine Coast. Shows good early pace. Do not dismiss.

Finished just behind Blakemore Avenue when fourth over 5f here (handicap) two weeks ago; has won three times here but not the most consistent of horses lately; a few rivals look in good form so one to tread carefully with.

RSIS

Odds of 17/1 and finished 4th last run at Sunshine Coast. Shows good early pace.

Dropped out to last and never sighted at Warwick. New to Sunshine Coast Poly. Looking elsewhere.

ILB

Odds of $51.00 and faded away to finish 9th last run at Warwick. Running with confidence since returning from a break. Would be more keen on the chance of others.

Has not been firing consistently; last of nine over 6f at Warwick (handicap) 13 days ago; this is competitive and one to tread carefully with.

RSIS

Odds of 50/1 and didn't find the line when 9th last start at Warwick. Been in the money multiple times of late.

First-up (15-weeks). Just missed in Maiden company at Rockhampton first-up last campaign. Can fill the minors here fresh in this company.

ILB

First up and just short of the win first up last preparation at Rockhampton. Krystle Arnold stable are running hot lately but back to a shorter distance. Very difficult to back.

Not beaten too far when sixth at Gatton over 7f (handicap) in July; is passed over in what appears to be a competitive contest.

RSIS

Resuming and threw down a serious challenge resuming last preparation at Rockhampton. Recent form of Krystle Arnold is strong but dropping back to a shorter trip.

Odds correct as at 5:20 am AEDT. Odds can change.
