AAP

Worked on the speed and just missed in the (Bm65) at Sunshine Coast when second-up. Can lead or take a sit. Right in the mix again.

ILB

On a quick back up. Narrowly denied victory last time at Sunshine Coast. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Best to watch and see.

Beaten narrowly at Sunshine Coast last month; hard enough to fancy as regularly been coming up a bit short lately.

RSIS

Racing on a quick back up. Was agonizingly close last start at Sunshine Coast. Shows good early pace.

AAP

Third outing for new trainer/ this region. Sound performance in small field at Eagle Farm second-up. Breaks from a low barrier. Can have a major say.

ILB

Put in a competitive run when placing 3rd last start at Eagle Farm and has the ideal barrier. Marginal contender.

Creditable third, beaten half a length, of seven (Eagle Farm) 14 days ago.

RSIS

Produced an eye catching run when 3rd last time at Eagle Farm and can save some energy from the stall.

AAP

Started $10 when toughed it out in Class 1 company at Bowraville when second-up. Trained on track but has a tricky draw. Repeat would surprise.

ILB

Managed to come out on top by the slightest of margins last run at Bowraville. Has plenty of early speed. Sharp improvement needed.

Got the job done in a handicap by a short head (Bowraville) 14 days ago; has recently run well at this venue; likely player.

RSIS

Narrowly clinched the victory last run at Bowraville. Should come to hand quickly.

AAP

Close-up at Eagle Farm 29 Aug. Last start this trip lost rider at Toowoomba when supported. Worth a look.

ILB

Failed to threaten last time at Toowoomba. Happy to overlook that run but carrying more weight than last time. Should muster plenty of early toe. Has strong claims.

Favourite when unseating rider (Toowoomba) last month; been a while since she managed only win; facing a testing assignment and others make more appeal.

RSIS

Towards the tail last time at Toowoomba. Giving another go here but hoping that the added weight won't hurt. Has shown early pace in races to date. Definite claims for punters.

Battled home into 4th in the small field at Eagle Farm after speccing from $8 into $5.50. Will be fitter second-up. Goes into wider exotics.

ILB

At $5.50 finished 4th last run at Eagle Farm and has more weight to carry.

RSIS

Started 9/2 and came in 4th last run at Eagle Farm and up in weight.

Comments

AAP

First-up (14-weeks). Ex J W Mason in QLD. Placed at Doomben first-up last campaign while brought on by a single Doomben trial. Last campaign was against better opposition.

ILB

First up from a break of 14 weeks and nice effort to run into 2nd first up last preparation at Doomben on a heavy track. Change in trainer. Holds a major chance.

Out of the frame (beaten 3½l in fourth, Doomben) three months ago in a conditions race; first start for new yard; capable if in the mood so looks interesting.

RSIS

Resuming and improved to place when 2nd beaten by 1 1/4L resuming last preparation at Doomben. First appearance for a new trainer but coming back in distance. Will go close today.

Below par performance when 8th last run around here but facing weaker opposition. Has to carry more weight this time.

Reeled in leaders to salute at Dalby over this journey. Good draw. Stronger challenge here but stays under notice.

ILB

Ran on strongly to win last run at Dalby and will try to take advantage of the draw. Going well this preparation and showing improvement in recent outings. Worth a lot of thought in this race.

Resume shows that she is a proven winner (seeking a fourth career win); got home in front by a neck at Dalby last month; could be hard to beat.

RSIS

Charged home to win last time at Dalby and will try to take advantage of the stall. Displays good finishing pace. Demonstrating upward trajectory in recent races. Attracts support.

Backing up quickly. Cleared maiden ranks at Coffs Harbour 3 Sep. Narrow miss in the Hcp (58) this venue 26 Sep. Right in this.

ILB

On a short back up. Was agonizingly close last time at this track. The large claim from Archie Mccolm helps. Slim chance.

Beaten a nose last Saturday; just his fifth outing so still early days; running in a handicap for only the second time; can be on the premises.

RSIS

On a quick turnaround. Was agonizingly close last start here. Large claim helps.

Odds correct as at Sat 3 Oct, 2:50 pm AEST. Odds can change.
