Eased back from Saturday company after finishing tenth in a BM78 at this track, beaten just over nine lengths on heavy ground behind Twisted Queen. His previous fourth in another BM78 here was sound enough, but he has been unplaced in all four starts this season. The 3kg claim and a record of one win and two placings around 1800m keep him in the place mix rather than as a clear winning play. Worth including.

Went within half a length of Weekend Artist at this track last start in Class 4 grade, and being forced wide near the 200m adds merit to the effort. He was well held on Everest Day the run prior, but this track and distance suits far better with one win and two placings from three attempts. Drawn sticky but is proven here and is a live chance.

Was unwanted in the market and finished last in a Class 4 at this track first-up, beaten over 13 lengths after beginning slowly and weakening further late. His previous run at Sunshine Coast was also a distant last, albeit after jumping awkwardly and racing wide throughout. Distance record helps slightly, but he must lift sharply.

Resumed with a seventh at this track over 1500m, beaten five and a half lengths after settling rearward and covering ground. That followed a second-last in a BM72 at Canterbury, and he is unplaced in all five starts in the past 12 months. A past track-and-distance win and the Waller-Maloney pairing are positives, but recent output is well short of what is required. Looking to others this time.

Had a genuine excuse when sixth at this track last start, checked near the 250m and beaten just under five lengths behind Peccavi. His prior fifth in a BM78 here was plain but came in stronger grade, and he is proven at this distance with wet-track form to suit the conditions. Going well enough to give this a big shake.

Led into the straight at this track last start but tired late when fifth, beaten just over four lengths, after racing keenly in the early stages. The start prior in a BM78 was only fair, though he was again big odds and raced from the back. His overall record of six wins from 13 starts and strong wet-track figures command respect, making him a place prospect if third-up improvement arrives. Not without his chance at longer odds.

Was second last in a Class 4 at this track last start, beaten over 10 lengths after having the drop on the leaders and finding little. He had interference in a BM78 here two back, but still lacked a change of gears late. Others look stronger.

Comes off a Gold Coast Poly second in a BM65, beaten four and a half lengths as a well-supported favourite, and now faces a harder meeting. Her prior third at Gold Coast in Open grade was more competitive, with only a length and a half separating her from Awaygoesthebunny. Proven at 1800m and in honest form. Can give this a big shake with Thompson piloting.

Arrives in winning form after taking a Class 4 at this track on heavy ground, holding off Mazis by half a length as an outside chance in the betting. He was also second at Sunshine Coast in a BM65 the run prior, so his recent consistency is clear. The step into this BM68 is the test, but place claims are real.

Went close in a BM65 at Gold Coast last start, finishing third and beaten just under a length by The Torque Factor at a provincial meeting. This is harder, but he had also been close in a Class 3 at Doomben two runs ago when beaten just over two lengths. Ticking along nicely and only needs to hold his form to be in the finish.

Comes back from Saturday BM85 company after finishing sixth at Doomben, beaten just over four lengths, and the easier assignment suits. He covered ground there and had worked home strongly for fourth at Sunshine Coast two back when favourite. Has the right setup to run into the placings.

Finished strongly for third at this track last start, beaten two lengths behind Peccavi after being held up around the home turn, so the run had clear merit. She had also been third here in Class 3 grade the start prior despite covering ground. Light weight and track-distance placings make her the one to beat.

Finished fifth in a BM64 at Wyong last start, beaten just over five lengths, and that provincial form now has to stand up at a harder meeting. His previous eighth in a Class 1 at Illawarra Grange was at big odds and made little impression after early contact. A sizeable lift is required.
