Returns from a two-month break after a solid third in Class 5 grade at this track, beaten just under a length by Gorbachev after tracking the speed and working home evenly. He had earlier been well-supported favourite in a Benchmark 70 here and was not disgraced. The 3kg claim helps under 60kg, though coming back to 1200m is the main query. The 1200m is the query, but he is in the mix for a placing.

Resumed at Randwick with a seventh over 1000m, beaten just under three lengths after being bumped early and racing wide from the 700m. That gives the run some context, and his 1200m record is far stronger than the bare first-up result. Happy to overlook.

Has been very consistent this campaign, most recently second in Class 4 grade at Beaudesert when favourite and beaten just over half a length by Music Fever. Two back he was also close-up in a Benchmark 70 at Gold Coast as odds-on favourite. Has place claims, though converting is the question.

Was better than fifth last start at this track, beaten a length and a half in Benchmark 70 grade after settling rearward and racing wide throughout. He had also been close enough at Gold Coast two back, and his record at this venue and distance is a genuine asset. A strong winning hope.

Peaks third-up after two solid 1000m runs, the latest a fourth in Benchmark 70 grade at Toowoomba when well-supported favourite and beaten just over a length after early contact. He was wide throughout at this venue first-up yet still finished close. Proven at this track and clearly the one to beat.

Resumed in fine style at Gold Coast, coming from a long way back to win a Class 2 by just under a length from Col Burn as well-supported favourite. Her previous campaign included a midfield Listed Queensland Day Stakes run at this venue, beaten just under three lengths at long odds. Handles wet ground and looks a major danger again.

Began awkwardly when sixth in CG Benchmark 65 grade at this track first-up, beaten just over three lengths after settling further back than ideal. The weight relief is helpful and his overall record is sound, but he was also well beaten at this venue before a break. From the wide draw, he has to produce a cleaner and sharper second-up performance. Prefer in something easier.

Arrives in winning form after taking a Benchmark 65 at Sunshine Coast by a head as well-supported favourite, having sat just off the lead. He was also runner-up there two back on soft ground and his jockey has a strong record on him. This is a tougher Class 3 assignment at his first look at this track, so further improvement is required. Leaving alone this time.

Ran well behind Champagne Lane at Gold Coast last start, finishing second in Class 2 grade and beaten just under a length after travelling behind the leaders. He meets this with weight relief and is proven at 1200m, though he was held by a key rival there. Solid 1200m profile, but the rematch is the sticking point.

Won a Class 1 at this track over 1000m last start, getting there by a neck from Olivoni after settling rearward on soft ground. That followed a sound third at Ipswich in Benchmark 68 company, so her form is honest. Suspect this may be a tad too rich.

Could not quicken when ninth in Benchmark 80 grade at Toowoomba last start, beaten four lengths at generous odds despite being close enough on the turn. Her third there two back was sound enough, but she was still beaten three lengths and has yet to place from four starts at this track. Happy to miss.

Was only beaten a length and a half in Benchmark 64 grade at Newcastle last start after racing close enough but not finishing it off. The run prior at Scone was a narrow win over Beaumista, and his wet-track record is a clear positive for today. Weight relief helps, but he shapes more as a place chance.

Resumed with a sound third at this track over 1000m, beaten just under two lengths on soft ground after leading at long odds. His previous run was a heavy defeat in the G3 Gunsynd Classic, so this is a more suitable level, and he has won at 1200m. Blinkers come off and he has clear winning claims.

Closed nicely for second in FM Benchmark 65 grade at this track last start, beaten a length and a half after beginning slowly and racing keenly early. She had also finished off strongly here two back after covering ground. Soft ground is the question, but she has place claims.

Returns from a lengthy spell after ending her last campaign second last in the G3 Gunsynd Classic at this track, beaten over 14 lengths at big odds. She won a Deagon trial two weeks ago, which at least points to some readiness, but her wet-track and 1200m records are both poor. She will have to show a significant turnaround to feature. Unlikely to threaten.

Went very close at Sunshine Coast last start, finishing second to Vin Santo in Benchmark 65 grade and beaten a head at generous odds. That was a clear lift on her Ipswich eighth two back, but she now meets a deeper Class 3 field and has been unplaced in two runs at this venue. A repeat can be competitive, though the winning case is limited. Others appeal more.
