Was safely held at Charleville last start in a BM50, finishing tenth and beaten over 19 lengths after starting as an outside chance in the betting. The drop from 65kg to 61kg helps and he has one win and two placings from eight starts around this trip, but the move from picnic grade to stronger country company asks more. Pferer others.

Dual acceptor. Returns from a spell. Recent trial winner at Dalby. Opened last campaign with a fourth at Sha Tin over 1000m. Will improve on whatever he does in this.

Gets a much better chance back from the Class 1 at Dalby, where he raced wide throughout on soft ground and was beaten just over eight lengths at big odds. The start prior he won a Mdn at Gympie by just under five lengths from Come Sundown, with this jockey aboard, and he has already won around this trip. Can bounce back.

Returns from a two-month break after finishing sixth in a BM65 at Morven, beaten just over six lengths on good ground. That followed a fifth in a Class 3 at Springsure when beaten over 10 lengths at generous odds, so the recent figures are only fair. Not liked.

Returns off a six-week let-up after a first-up third at Taroom, beaten four and a half lengths in a BM50 won by Bordeaux Hopper. That was sound enough for minor claims, but he now comes to a harder country meeting and has been beaten by Destiny Gungho in the same form line. Wider plays only.

Returns off a six-week let-up after going close at Taroom, finishing second in a BM50 and beaten just over half a length by Bordeaux Hopper. He had also placed in a Class B at Morven the start prior, and the key point here is his record at this track and distance: one win and two placings from four tries. Strong danger despite the stronger grade.

Could only manage last of six at Kumbia last start, beaten two and a half lengths after being near the top of betting, and there was no obvious excuse. The run prior was a strong Mdn win at Tara, where she beat Outages by just over five lengths despite racing wide throughout.

Returns from a two-month break after being hampered shortly after the start at Morven, where she finished last and was beaten nine and a half lengths. The run prior at Bundaberg was also plain after leading and never looking likely, despite being near the top of betting. Her past 12 months record is respectable, but five unplaced runs at this distance temper the confidence. Recent record is sound enough, but the distance remains the query.

Has to be forgiven a plain BM60 run on the Gold Coast Poly, where she led and gave little in the straight before finishing last, beaten over 10 lengths at big odds. The previous second at Stanthorpe, beaten three lengths by Funhouse, is the run that keeps her in calculations. Look for improvement.

Was unwanted in the market at Gatton last start and ran accordingly, settling rearward before making no impression when second last and beaten seven and a half lengths. The start prior at Gympie was no better, finishing fifth but beaten over 11 lengths after hanging out around the home turn. Race fitness helps little unless she produces a sizeable turnaround.

Returns off a five-week let-up after finishing last at Charleville, beaten just over seven lengths with no clear excuse. The start prior was also poor in a Class 3 at Springsure, where she was beaten over 15 lengths at generous odds. Some season placings help, but she profiles as place-only.

Returned from a break with a solid fourth at Kumbia, beaten only half a length by Reebar over 1200m on soft ground, and the quick back-up is assessed as a plus. He had earlier finished third in a BM50 at Injune, beaten three and a half lengths, so his recent form is competitive for this. Rates as a genuine winning chance.
