Returns from a lengthy spell after a difficult jumping campaign, having failed to finish in a Hurdle at Hamilton and been beaten out of sight in a 3yo+ Maiden Hurdle at Warrnambool. Two trials since last racing help from a readiness viewpoint, and his overall career record is sound, but he has been unplaced in four runs over the past 12 months. Unlikely to get involved.

Worked into a challenging spot at Toowoomba in a Benchmark 85 last start but was only fair late when fourth, beaten just over four lengths by The Louvre. The Gold Coast run prior had more merit, charging home from well back at big odds. He is proven around 1800m and has a small claim, yet Barbray and Mirra Impact had his measure recently and others look sharper. Happy to miss.

Went within a head of winning a Benchmark 85 at Toowoomba, despite beginning slowly and being on heels near the 300m. He had also been held up when fifth as favourite at Doomben, beaten only a length and a half by Liberty Park. Clear winning chance with that form.

Arrives in winning form after scoring at this track, where he began slowly, was held up around the home turn and still beat Outburst by just over half a length. That followed a Benchmark 70 win at Sunshine Coast on soft ground, so his current form is hard to fault. Wide draw is the query, but place claims are genuine.

Held third in a Benchmark 85 at Toowoomba last start, beaten just over a length after tracking the speed and only being run down late. He was below that at this venue in NMW grade two back, but the market has respected him at recent runs and he handles wet ground. The 1800m record is the knock, but he has the form to press hard.

Backs up quickly after finishing fifth at this track over 1600m on soft ground, where he sat handy at big odds and faded late. Two back, he was seventh in an Open at Dalby after again racing near the speed without finishing off. Others have stronger recent form.

Was close enough at Gold Coast last start over 2200m but failed to quicken and finished second last, beaten four and a half lengths by Demarcay. His previous Gold Coast win in Class 4 grade was sound, beating Shape Of Water as favourite, and the return to 1800m suits on his record. He still has to rebound sharply from that plain latest effort. Looking elsewhere.

Made the right progression second-up at Warwick Farm, winning over 1600m on soft ground as favourite despite early crowding and a bump on the home turn. She had worked home well for second there first-up in a 3yo+ FM Benchmark 72, and now arrives third-up with a 1.5kg claim. First go at 1800m is a query, but she sets the standard.

Ran a sound third in an Open at Gold Coast on soft ground last start, beaten a length and a half by Little Beginnings after travelling well into the race. He had won a Benchmark 65 at Beaudesert the run prior, so the recent form is honest enough. Blinkers go on, but his eight unplaced runs at this venue are a significant hurdle against stronger rivals. Avoiding.

Worked home evenly for fourth over 2200m at Gold Coast last start, beaten two and a half lengths by Demarcay at outside odds. The previous run at this venue was below expectations when tenth in a Benchmark 70, but his record at this track and distance is a useful reference point. Wide draw keeps him more a place hope.

Delivered as the odds-on favourite at Sunshine Coast in Class 3 company, settling midfield before getting there in a tight finish over 1600m. His first-up third at Gold Coast was also strong, charging home from well back after beginning slowly and being steadied. Brings a strong, progressive profile.

Picked up late from the rear at Toowoomba in a Benchmark 70 but was still beaten just over five lengths after starting near the top of betting. His Doomben return over 1350m was also midfield at best, though he is third-up now, gets weight relief and has won around 1800m. Thompson's booking adds confidence and he looms a winning hope.

Finished last at Gold Coast over 1400m, beaten ten lengths after settling rearward and making no impression, with only an awkward jump noted. The run prior was a narrow Benchmark 70 win at Sunshine Coast, so there is a better version in her form, and the claim helps. The run prior was a narrow BM70 win at the Sunshine Coast, so there is a better version in her form, and the claim helps. Not completely legless.

Improved sharply third-up when second at this venue behind Becamo, beaten just over half a length at long odds after being held up near the 150m. His Lismore run prior in Benchmark 58 grade was plain, but he does have a solid place record around 1800m and the claim keeps the weight low. Place claims if he repeats that effort.
