Resumed with a sound third in 3yo+ Class 3 Saturday company at Eagle Farm, beaten just under two lengths after leading on soft ground despite being unwanted in the market. The G3 Gunsynd Classic run before the break was too hard, but this is easier and he has already won at this track. Claim helps with top weight and he has won at this venue.

Worked home evenly when fifth in a Benchmark 65 over 1400m at this track, beaten just over three lengths at generous odds. He had earlier been fourth here over 2200m as favourite in Class 1 company, so the recent form is honest rather than sharp. Place claims look stronger than the win case.

Returns from a lengthy spell after ending the previous campaign with a last placing at Doomben in 3yo+ Class 1, beaten just under nine lengths at long odds. He had been held up at Ipswich the run prior, but he is unplaced in four starts at this track. Proven at the distance and aided by an easier grade, though he will have to produce a much sharper fresh effort. Looking elsewhere.

Returns from a three-month break after being beaten a nose in a Benchmark 65 at Sunshine Coast, where she was forced wide leaving the 800m and still fought hard. Her previous fourth at this venue was also close, beaten just over half a length, so the form reads well for this grade. Handles soft ground and has genuine each-way appeal.

Returns from a six-week let-up after finishing fifth in 3-4yo Benchmark 68 Saturday company at Eagle Farm, beaten just under two lengths after beginning slowly, racing keenly and being bumped. That is a useful excuse profile, and she had won a FM Class 1 at Doomben prior, beating Don'T Doubt Missy from well back. Prior Doomben win had merit and the rider switch back is a plus.

Has returned in excellent order, winning a Benchmark 58 at this track before running second in 3yo+ Class 3 Saturday company at Eagle Farm, beaten a length and a half by Esha. She also had Vintage Vibes behind her there, and her seven-start 1000m record reads two wins and five placings. Third-up profile makes her the one to beat.

Returns from a two-month freshening after finishing last in a Benchmark 60 at Kilcoy, beaten six and a half lengths after travelling close enough and lacking a change of gears. The Goondiwindi fifth prior was more competitive, but this is her first look at this venue and her 1000m record is limited. Class relief helps, but the recent figures do not match the main chances.

Returns from a five-month break after ending last campaign with a heavy defeat at Grafton, finishing last in a Class 3 and beaten over 14 lengths at long odds. The seventh there prior on heavy ground was also plain, and she has been unplaced in all seven starts in the past 12 months. Others make more appeal.

Returns from a six-month break after finishing last in a BM58 at Ballina, beaten just over six lengths after leading and coming under pressure late. Her dominant heavy-ground maiden win prior, when a short-priced favourite, is the positive in the profile, and she has placed at the distance. First run in this state adds another variable. No shock to see her make her presence felt.
