Races OR Gold Coast

Placed in Saturday company at Eagle Farm last start, leading and sticking on for third in a 1MW-LY, beaten just over two lengths as favourite. He had earlier finished fourth in an Open at Doomben after being overrun late, so the pattern is honest rather than dominant. Honest 1200m record keeps him in the mix, with the win edge the query.

Returns from a five-month break after finishing second last at Gold Coast, beaten just over seven lengths at big odds, with hampering noted in the straight but not enough to hide a plain finish. His prior Open second here over 1400m on soft ground was much better, beaten half a length as favourite. Needs to find the form of his earlier Open placing.

Returns from a four-month break after being outclassed in the G3 Fred Best Classic at Eagle Farm, where he jumped awkwardly and was beaten nine and a half lengths. The run prior was far more encouraging, second in a 3yo Open at Doomben after again beginning awkwardly. Trialled solidly and gets conditions that should suit.

Worked home strongly from well back when fourth in Saturday company at Eagle Farm, beaten two and a half lengths in a 1MW-LY after jumping awkwardly. He had been third behind Surprise Honey the start before, with a home-straight hold-up noted. Place chance if everything falls his way.

Eased from Saturday company after finishing fourth in a Class 6 at Eagle Farm, beaten six and a half lengths over 1400m, and the effort lacked the sharpness needed to threaten. His previous Doomben run was better than last place suggests after racing wide throughout. Better suited as a place prospect.

Brings the strongest recent form, winning at Eagle Farm last start by just under three lengths from Slippin' Jimmy after being held up on the home turn. That followed another Eagle Farm success in a 3yo+ Class 6, where she beat Ser Joh by just over two lengths. Proven at 1200m and hard to knock again - hat-trick in bound.

Finished last behind Surprise Honey at Eagle Farm last start, beaten over 12 lengths at long odds, and while he raced wide throughout he was still there to strike before dropping out. The Doomben run prior was also last, beaten just under seven lengths after market weakness. Needs a major turnaround.

Led in a four-horse Open at Gold Coast last start and was run down late by Bring Me Kash, finishing second as favourite over 1000m. He had won an Open at Murwillumbah before that, beating Oakfield Duke by just under a length on soft ground. The 1200m is the sticking point.

Returns from a five-month break after running seventh in the Listed Silk Stocking at Gold Coast, beaten just over three lengths over 1400m when overrun late after having every chance. Before that she won a 3yo+ Class 6 at Eagle Farm as favourite, beating True To Form by just over a length. Strong 1200m record makes her a genuine place chance.

Confirmed her progression third-up by winning a Class 5 at Ipswich on soft ground, beating Mishani Crown by just under a length as favourite despite being held up on the home turn. She had resumed with a good third in an FM Benchmark 78 at Doomben after being forced wide near the 800m. Wet form and 1200m record make her a serious danger.

Had genuine traffic issues when seventh in a Class 3 at Sunshine Coast last week, held up around the home turn and again seeking clear running near the 300m before finishing just over three lengths from Cutepi. The prior Doomben run was plain, beaten just over seven lengths by Lockyer. Needs clear running and more late strength.

Resumed with a fifth in a Class 4 over 1000m at Sunshine Coast, beginning awkwardly before making solid late ground from well back and finishing beaten just under five lengths. His previous Eagle Farm run in a CG Benchmark 78 was similar, making some impression without threatening. Still needs to turn solid closing work into a real threat.

Drops from Saturday company after finishing fifth in a Class 6 at Eagle Farm, beaten three and a half lengths, with a wide run and heels incident giving some context. Her Doomben sixth prior came when unwanted in the market and she never really advanced from the rear. Improvement required.

Held her ground well for third in a Saturday Class 6 at Eagle Farm, beaten just under two lengths over 1000m after travelling kindly. The earlier Eagle Farm fourth had merit after racing wide, though she was again kept to 1000m. The jump to 1200m is the query for win purposes.
