Went close in a Class 2 at this track last start, finishing second to Artie Vainqueur and beaten just under a length despite racing wide throughout at long odds. The start prior at Toowoomba was only fair when eighth after tiring late. Wet record is the knock, so he shapes as a rough each-way hope.

Closed off strongly from well back when fourth in a Benchmark 65 at Gold Coast, beaten just over two lengths after beginning slowly and covering ground. He had also been slow into stride at Ipswich in the same grade, so the pattern is not ideal, but this is an easier set-up from provincial company. The claim and rider record give him a strong winning case.

Drops out of a Benchmark 70 after finishing sixth at Toowoomba last week, beaten seven and a half lengths, with the run not helped by an awkward start and being forced wide near the 500m. His previous fourth in a Benchmark 65 came as favourite but still lacked a sharp finish. Recent margins temper the win case, but he can run into a place.

Was disappointing in a Benchmark 65 at Toowoomba last start, finishing second last and beaten just over nine lengths after having every chance in the run. The counterpoint is his previous second at Toowoomba, where he was beaten just over half a length after travelling well. He has won his only start at this track, so a return to that sharper form would put him back in the minor-money frame. Worth some thought.

Worked home from too far back when fifth in a Benchmark 58 at this track over 1200m, beaten three and a half lengths after missing the start. That followed a Benchmark 55 win at Beaudesert, where he beat Mighty Judd by a long neck after finding the line strongly. Soft ground is the worry, but his Beaudesert win keeps him in the minor-money hunt.

Has put together consecutive wins at this track, most recently taking a Class 2 by just under a length over Starboard after being sent out favourite. She had won a FM Benchmark 58 here by two and a half lengths the start prior, so the current form has a strong, repeatable look. Rises in weight, but her track-and-trip profile makes her the one to beat.

Made a fair third-up case when fourth in a CG Class 1 at Sunshine Coast, beaten just over two lengths after leading and working home evenly. His fresh run at Toowoomba was also respectable enough given he knuckled at the start before finishing sixth. Still has to turn consistency into a win, so place claims look the right level.

Finished seventh behind Artie Vainqueur in a Class 2 at this track last start, beaten just under four lengths after settling well back and making some ground without threatening. She had also been fourth to the same mare in a FM Benchmark 58 here at big odds. Blinkers help, but she must find a sharper finish.
