AAP

Capitulated to finish out of the money at Toowoomba for new stable. Can lead or take a sit. A distance specialist. Key contender.

ILB

Started at $7.50 and weakened to finish 4th last run at Toowoomba but lining up against easier rivals. Has a good draw.

Proven that he knows how to get his head in front (seeking a sixth career win); finished fourth but wasn't beaten too far (4l) at Toowoomba 14 days ago on debut for this trainer; can have a big say as could improve for latest run (has won second time after a break before).

RSIS

Odds of 13/2 and didn't attack the line when 4th last run at Toowoomba but matched against a less competitive field. Has a good draw.

AAP

Freshened. Shouldered 60.5kg to victory at Birdsville. Unable to make an impression at Taroom over this distance. Worth a look.

ILB

Started $2.60 and clearly outclassed when 6th last time at Taroom. Shows good early pace. Small possibility.

Out of the frame (beaten 6l in sixth) at Taroom (behind Manhattan Thunder) five weeks ago.

RSIS

Started 8/5 and unsatisfactory performance when 6th last start at Taroom. Should race on the pace.

AAP

First-up (46-weeks). Placed at Yarra Glen first-up last campaign. Awkwardly drawn for return. Off extended break but a forward showing would not surprise. Follow market leads.

ILB

First up after 46 weeks and zipped home into 3rd first up last preparation at Yarra Valley. Expected to be flashing home. Back to a shorter trip. Respect the betting.

Far from disgraced (beaten just under 3l) over 6½f at Toowoomba (handicap) in December; returns from an absence here; not been able to get his head in front lately so one to tread carefully with.

RSIS

Resuming and rattled home nicely into 3rd resuming last preparation at Yarra Vstall. Will be hitting the line strongly. Down in trip. Dropping weight. Watch the betting.

Let-up (56-days). Was a long way from the action in 1400m Goondiwindi Cup at Goondiwindi. Hard to warm to here.

ILB

Freshened for this. Started $71.00 and disappointing outing when 7th last run at Goondiwindi but up against a less competitive field. Should come to hand quickly. Needs to improve.

Track has proven suitable before; slumped a bit since winning a handicap at Bell in January; seventh of eight beaten 12l over 7f at Goondiwindi (handicap) last month; others are preferred.

RSIS

Back from a freshen up. Started 70/1 and fairly underwhelming when 7th last run at Goondiwindi but up against a less competitive field. Shows good early pace. Dropping in distance.

Winless since 11 Oct 2025. On pace but folded up quickly at Kilcoy. On pacer. Leaning towards others here.

ILB

At $14.00 struggled with the pace when 6th last run at Kilcoy. Has shown early pace in races to date. Tough race will need luck.

Out of the frame (beaten just over 4l in sixth) at Kilcoy over 6f (handicap) three weeks ago; possesses winning form at this track; needs to improve on balance of recent form; not a great record on second run back after a layoff and one to tread carefully with.

RSIS

Odds of 13/1 and didn't threaten when 6th last run at Kilcoy. Has shown early pace in races to date.

4 weeks since last run. All honours in the small field at Tara. Coming back in distance. Has claims for a repeat.

ILB

Did a good job when winning by 1 3/4L last run at Tara and displaying improvement over the past few runs. Will appreciate the drop in weight. Strong competitor.

Won by just under 2l over 6f at Tara (handicap) 28 days ago; entitled to respect.

RSIS

Was first past the post when winning by 1 3/4L last start at Tara and demonstrating upward trajectory in recent races. Will benefit with the weight drop. Tough competitor.

Now 5 weeks between runs. Ex Michael Nolan in QLD. Well back and never a factor at Warwick. Can hit the ground running for new stable.

ILB

Started at $5.50 and came in 7th last start at Warwick. Giving another go here and dropping weight. Gains the services of jockey Jess Emmerson. Well respected contender.

Beaten 6l (seventh) over 6f at Warwick (handicap) last month; patchy form recently; now running for a new trainer; is passed over.

RSIS

Started at 9/2 and came in 7th last run at Warwick. May see an upturn in form and carrying less weight this time. Jockey Jess Emmerson adds value. Great chance.

Let-up (70-days). Responded strongly to score in small field at Dingo. First test in rain-affected going. Sterner test awaits but retains plenty of appeal.

ILB

Back from a break. Got the prize when winning by 1L last run at Dingo and has drawn to do little work. Will be motoring home late. Quietly confident of a big run at decent odds.

Back to winning ways over 4½f at Dingo (handicap) in August; one to note.

RSIS

Fresh after a break. Did a good job when winning by 1L last start at Dingo and has a nice advantage with a good draw. Solid prospects.

Let-up (69-days). Midfield, great effort running into third Hcp (55) at Kilcoy. Effective wet. Right in the mix again fresh in this company.

ILB

Resuming. Hit the line well when 3rd beaten by 1L last start at Kilcoy and gets some weight relief.

RSIS

Resuming. Showed a good turn of foot when 3rd beaten by 1L last time at Kilcoy and goes down in weight.

Odds correct as at Sat 31 Oct, 1:30 pm AEDT. Odds can change.
