Placed first-up at this track when third behind Bring Me Kash, beaten two lengths on soft ground after travelling well and striking some interference in the straight. That was a better return than his Randwick failure before the break, where he was last at big odds and dropped out late. The 1000m record leaves a query, but barrier one keeps him in the place mix.

Improved last start when fourth in a CG Class 6 at this track, beaten just under a length on heavy ground after racing handy and battling on fairly. The start prior was plain, finishing second last behind Gram after having every chance. His two wins from five starts at this track and distance are a positive, but he will have to lift again to turn recent improvement into a BM78 win. Happy to miss.

Had some excuses when seventh in a CG Class 6 at this track, beaten two lengths after covering ground and being steadied, but he still did not finish closer than midfield. His Rosehill run prior was also below his best after racing wide from the 700m. The 1000m record is strong, yet the current form pattern makes him hard to recommend beyond a rough minor hope. Can't entertain.

Returns from a five-week let-up after a strong Warwick Farm fourth in a BM100, beaten a length and a half at big odds after being held up between the 300m and 200m. That metro run in harder company is the key form reference, while the prior Open run on heavy ground at Sandown-Hillside was plain. Back to BM78 company and third-up, he looks a strong winning chance.

Arrives in winning form after taking a Sunshine Coast Class 4 by a nose, beating Lunar Eight after settling handy and finishing best in a tight finish. His prior Class 5 third at the same venue was also sound, beaten a length behind Gambler. Stronger company now, but he is honest enough for the multiples.

Was safely held at this track last start, finishing sixth behind Bring Me Kash and beaten just under four lengths at long odds after lacking a turn of foot. His previous Sunshine Coast second in Open grade had more merit, coming from well back after beginning awkwardly. The concern is his unplaced record from five starts at this track and distance, which makes this a tough assignment. Suspect this to be too rich for him.

Has won three in a row and was strong again at Toowoomba last start, beating Provance by just under two lengths in a BM70 as a short odds-on favourite. He had also scored there the run prior, beating Gitalong by just over a length. This is a sterner BM78 test, so he must raise the bar.

Returns from a five-month break with a close second in a Gold Coast trial to suggest some readiness. Her final run before the spell was a last at Doomben, beaten six and a half lengths after beginning awkwardly, racing wide and offering little. She had earlier led and finished fifth at Gold Coast. The 1000m record is useful, but her race form has to rebound sharply. Not at this stage, maybe later.

Resumes after eight months with a Gold Coast Poly trial win behind her, and the form from her last campaign gives her a strong BM78 profile. She was wide throughout in the G3 Gold Coast Guineas won by Beadman, then had earlier made solid ground for fourth in the Listed Mick Dittman Plate at this track. This BM78 suits and she looks the one to beat.

Comes off consecutive Sunshine Coast wins, most recently taking a BM68 by a length and a half from Cabaletto as odds-on favourite after beginning well and having something in reserve. She had won a BM65 by a head before that, also as favourite. Class rise is the query, but the form is hard to knock.

Dual acceptor. Resuming. Finished off last campaign 12th of 15 at Grafton in the LR Ramornie July 15 over 1200m, 4.5 len behind Band Of Brothers with 54kg at $201. When resuming last campaign eighth of 10 at Gold Coast Cl5 December 19 over 1200m, 3 len behind Mister Bianco with 52.5kg at $8.50. Will take great benefit from this run.

Went close at Sunshine Coast when third to Shako in a Class 4, beaten half a length after covering ground throughout and still being pipped late. Her Randwick seventh prior was better than it reads, as she was placed in restricted room and not fully tested late. Randwick run prior had excuses, so she is right in this.

Resumes after six months and has won an easy Muswellbrook trial, which is the most encouraging piece of recent evidence. His final run before the break was a tenth at Scone at long odds, beaten six lengths without making an impression, and the Randwick run prior was a heavy defeat despite covering ground. Can make his presence felt fresh.

Dual acceptor. Last start 6th of 9 in a Cg&E Cl6 at this track on October 24 over 1000m, on rain affected going; 2 len behind Thelwell with 53kg at $6.50. The run before that won by a nose in a Bm70 at this track on October 3 over 1200m in soft going defeating Strada Varenna with 55.5kg at $13. Hard to have in this line-up.

Back from a ten-month break after winning a Deagon trial, and his record at around 1000m gives him a sound each-way base. He was third in a BM70 at this track before the spell, beaten just under three lengths after working home evenly, and his prior Open fifth here was also competitive. The ten-month break and wide draw keep him to place claims.
