Backs up quickly after winning a Benchmark 50 at Bundarra by just under three lengths, beating Tesorino in a small field. This is harder than that picnic assignment, but he is race fit, gets a 1.5kg claim and has two wins from three starts this season. Harder now, but race fitness and the claim keep him right in play.

Returns from a lengthy spell after finishing fourth in a 3yo Open at this venue, beaten just under six lengths after racing wide throughout and laying in. That followed a plain second-last in a Benchmark 60, also at this venue, when at long odds. Last run had excuses, but his track record keeps the win case measured.

Resumes after three months off having finished ninth at this track, beaten seven and a half lengths when unable to launch a challenge. His prior Ipswich sixth in CG Class 1 company was fair enough after racing wide, but he was unwanted in the market. Has 1200m form, but recent runs were only fair and he looks a minor hope.

Was slow away and wide throughout when fifth in an Open at Tabulam last week, beaten seven lengths. Two back at this venue he was 11th in a CG Benchmark 58 at long odds after jumping awkwardly and covering ground, but the margin was still over 11 lengths. The quick back-up and claim help, though he has been unplaced in six starts over the past 12 months and must lift sharply. Happy to avoid.

Had a genuine excuse at Lismore last start, beginning only fairly and being held up around the home turn before finishing fifth, beaten just over two lengths in Class 1 company at big odds. His Grafton second beforehand behind Mongolian Spring was also sound on soft ground. Wet-track record suits and he rates as a major chance.

Drops back from a Gold Coast Class 2 where she finished last, beaten just over nine lengths, after settling rearward and never looking likely. Her Dalby sixth before that was also only fair, though she now reaches the third run of the campaign and has a strong wet-track profile. With four placings from 10 tries around 1200m, she profiles as a place chance if the lift comes. Worth including.

Resumes after a four-month break for a new stable after a luckless ninth in Class 1 company at Grafton, where she was held up on the home turn and checked near the 150m yet was beaten only four lengths. Her Casino run before that was also affected by a bump and wide work. Strong place record around 1200m gives her claims.

Returns from a six-month break after leading and fading to second last at this venue in a Benchmark 58, though the beaten margin was only two and a half lengths. She had earlier won a Benchmark 50 at Ballina, beating Bondi Prophet on soft ground, and has since won an easy Beaudesert trial. Capable of giving a sight fresh.

Disappointed as favourite at Taroom last start, finishing fifth in a Benchmark 50 and beaten over 11 lengths without an obvious excuse. Her Sunshine Coast eighth prior was better on paper, but she still came from a long way back and never threatened. Gets weight relief third-up, but the 1200m record is a concern.

Went close at Tara last week, finishing second in a Class B and beaten just over half a length after racing wide throughout. She rises from picnic grade, but drops sharply from 61kg to 55.5kg and has been a winner and twice placed from five starts this season. In-form, proven at 1200m and the one to beat.

Finished seventh at Nanango last start in 3yo+ Class 3 grade, beaten just under nine lengths after being near the top of betting. Her Goondiwindi third two back behind Belistic Man was more competitive, and she now gets a 3kg claim with some weight relief. Claim helps; place claims remain.

Returns from a two-month break after finishing last at Beaudesert, beaten eight and a half lengths after settling rearward and making no ground. She was also well held at this track two back, beaten over 14 lengths when unwanted in the market. A softer setup is not enough on exposed recent form.
