Returns after two months off following a disappointing BM72 run at Warwick Farm, where he led and weakened to finish last, beaten over 10 lengths, with no abnormality reported. His Canterbury second before that, beaten a nose as a well-supported favourite, reads far better and there was interference late. Wet-track record keeps the win confidence in check.

Produced the right response last start, winning a BM68 at this track over 1200m on soft ground after travelling well and overcoming home-turn interference. The Gold Coast fifth prior was sound enough, beaten just under three lengths in a BM62, and Michael Rodd has a win and a placing from two rides on him. Rodd back on adds to a strong winning profile.

Returns from a four-month break with a Gold Coast Poly trial win behind him, which gives some fitness reassurance. He was third in a Quality at Grafton when last seen, beaten five and a half lengths, after winning a BM60 at Ipswich over 1690m on soft ground. Track-and-trip credentials help, but sharper race fitness may be against him.

Lifted strongly to win a Class 1 at this track last start on heavy ground, settling back, travelling well and scoring by a head from Imminent Appeal despite being held up late. He had been beaten two and a half lengths here at odds-on the run prior after beginning slowly, so the rebound was important. Proven at 1400m and looks a key winning chance again.

Was not beaten far in Saturday company at Doomben last start, finishing seventh in a BM70 behind Lebanese, beaten two and a half lengths. The run prior at Warwick Farm was plain, last in a BM78 after settling back and making little impact, but she now finds easier company and has handled wet tracks well. Place claims look the right level.

Resumed with a fifth in a BM68 at this track over 1200m, beaten three and a half lengths by Keep It Real after racing wide and copping interference near the 200m. That gives the run some merit, and she has won at this distance. Track record is the query, but she can improve into the placings.

Returns after five weeks since a strong Gold Coast Class 1 win, where she was short odds-on favourite and beat Copper Star by just under two lengths. She had earlier placed at this track over 1200m behind Tasman Bay after jumping awkwardly and being bumped, so the local form is sound. Harder now, but the campaign form is strong enough to keep her in play.

Failed to finish off at Sunshine Coast last start on heavy ground, running sixth and beaten just over five lengths after racing handy in a provincial race assessed as harder today. Her Gold Coast BM62 win two back over Cantankerous was better, and she has a sound 1400m record plus a previous win at this track and distance. Others bring stronger current form.

Won first-up at Beaumont (newcastle), beating Good'N'You by just under a length in a Class 1 after being bumped at the start and still working into the race well. He also won a CG Mdn at Muswellbrook before the break, so the strike rate is appealing. Harder Queensland test now, so he has more to prove.

At the latest run sat on speed throughout when 3rd of 9 in a Cl3-Sw at Sunshine Coast on November 3 over 1400m, on a slow track; 0.9 len behind Global Eclipse carrying 56.5kg at $13. Before that 7th of 9 in a Cl2 at Sunshine Coast on October 16 over 1400m, on heavy track; 5.5 len behind Col Burn with 57kg at $9. Fully tested this time around.

Has been admirably consistent without winning, placing at both recent runs including third in a BM68 at this track, beaten just over two lengths after beginning slowly. The Doomben third prior was also sound, with a held-up passage in the straight. Reliable for exotics, but the win strike is the reservation.

Returns after over a year away, so the market will be important despite a debut win at Waverley in a Mdn, where she beat Sloshed by just under two lengths on soft ground. She has had three trials since last racing and first-time blinkers go on, which offers some readiness. Debut win was good, but this is a big ask fresh.

Had genuine excuses when fourth to Monotone in a Class 1 at this track last start, beaten just under a length as a well-supported favourite after jumping awkwardly and being held up in the straight. She won a Mdn here the start prior, beating Fracus by half a length, and now reaches the right stage third-up. No luck last time and sets up a treat down in the weights with Thompson sticking.
