Races BR Eagle Farm

Resumed in the G2 Concorde Stakes at Randwick and led before fading to ninth, beaten just under four lengths behind Tempted at long odds. That was a much stronger race than this, and his previous Sunshine Coast win on soft ground showed he still has speed when allowed to control. Proven at this track and distance, but the top weight and plain return make him hard to promote.

Returns from a four-month break after finishing fourth in the Listed Lightning Hcp at this track, beaten just over two lengths behind Monte Supreme after covering ground. He had won the Listed Chief De Beers Quality at Doomben the run prior, so the fresh form has depth, and a Gold Coast trial adds some readiness. Strong 1000m record keeps him in the placing mix.

Had his chance to work into the race at Doomben but finished sixth behind Polyglot, beaten three and a half lengths, with interference near the 100m adding some context. Two back he won the Listed Ramornie Handicap at Grafton over 1200m, beating Pereille with authority. Has quality, but recent rivals hold a slight edge for the win.

Continued a consistent campaign by winning at Doomben over 1110m as favourite, beating Epic Proportions by a long neck and sticking on well under Taylor Marshall. He had earlier run third at this track behind Town Crier after jumping awkwardly, so his recent form ties in strongly. Reliable enough to be a genuine each-way chance.

Returns from a five-week freshening after charging home from well back to win at this track, beating Cifrado by just under a length when an outside chance in betting. That followed a luckless Doomben ninth where he was slow away and struck interference, so the improvement had substance. Strong 1000m profile and prior excuses make him a serious danger.

Comes here with the strongest winning case after two solid recent placings, closing into third behind Polyglot at Doomben after doing some work from back in the field. He had chased home Moulin Miss in a Class 6 at this track on soft ground the start prior, beaten a length and a half, and now reaches a suitable fourth-up stage. Thompson's booking is a tick and he only needs to hold his form to be in the finish.

Was eighth in a 4yo+ M Benchmark 78 at Randwick last start, beaten just under three lengths after becoming unbalanced near the 350m. Her previous Randwick second on heavy ground was far better, going down by a nose as a well-supported favourite. Still has to lift against this field.

Had excuses when fourth in a Class 6 at this track, jumping awkwardly and being held up around the home turn before finishing two lengths behind Moulin Miss as favourite. Her previous Doomben third behind Let'Sfacethemusic was also sound. Weight relief helps, though the draw is sticky.

Returns from a two-month break after a plain Randwick ninth in a 3yo+ Benchmark 88, beaten five lengths behind Prima Bella without a clear excuse. The run prior was a Quality win at Grafton over Tectonic Plate, and her distance record is excellent, but she is unplaced from two starts at this venue. Strong 1000m record and a Grafton Quality win two back, but the latest Randwick run was plain.

Returns from a five-week freshening after finishing ninth at this track behind Town Crier, beaten five and a half lengths at big odds when wide throughout and steadied in the straight. His track-and-distance record is very good, with three wins and two placings from six starts, but this campaign has produced two unplaced runs. Strong track-and-distance record is the plus, but recent form leaves plenty to prove.

Led and kicked strongly to win a Class 6 at this track on soft ground last start, beating Fleetwood by a length and a half while near the top of betting. She was overrun late over 1110m at Doomben before that, so the return to 1000m clearly suited. Strong track-and-trip record and Angela Jones add to the case.

Made solid late ground for fourth behind Polyglot at Doomben, beaten two and a half lengths after beginning slowly and being unwanted in the market. His previous Randwick run in a 3yo+ Benchmark 88 was tougher, racing wide without cover and fading to eighth. Proven at the distance, but likely needs the race to fall kindly for a placing.

Returns from a two-month break after finishing second last in a CG Benchmark 78 at Doomben over 1200m, beaten just over seven lengths at long odds after racing keenly. His prior Gold Coast fifth on soft ground was also only fair. Gets weight relief, but six unplaced tries at this track and distance are hard to overlook.
