Comments

AAP

Bowraville winner two back. Handy and boxed on solidly at Port Macquarie. Proven record wet/track. Fit from racing, can play a role with even breaks.

ILB

Felt the pinch when 4th last run at Port Macquarie and competing at a lower grade. Grady Spokes rates highly but up in weight. Can't leave out of your calculations.

RP

Creditable effort (went off 40-1) to finish fourth over 7½f at Port Macquarie (handicap) 11 days ago; possesses winning form at this track.

RSIS

Couldn't maintain the pace when 4th last start at Port Macquarie and competing in a lower grade. Grady Spokes is a plus. Could feature here.

AAP

Last win was 15 Feb 2025. Settled back and didn't figure in the (Bm70) at Sunshine Coast. Needs to recapture form.

ILB

Was $31.00 and fairly underwhelming when 8th last time at Sunshine Coast and has to carry more weight this time. Has struggled so far this preparation. Cannot make a case for.

RP

Found life tough when 6l back in eighth over 1m1f at Sunshine Coast (handicap) 11 days ago; useful in this grade; likely player.

RSIS

Started 30/1 and fairly underwhelming when 8th last start at Sunshine Coast and rising in weight. Has struggled so far in recent runs.

Comments

AAP

Was a long way from the action in 1350m (Bm78) at Doomben. Has early speed. Can't enthuse.

ILB

Was well beaten when 9th last time at Doomben. Expected to rebound and facing less formidable opponents. Should muster plenty of early speed. Rises in weight. Has a good chance.

RP

Resume shows that he is a proven winner (seeking a fourth career win); last of nine at Doomben last month upped to 6½f; others more likely as shown nothing recently.

RSIS

Lost ground in the run home when 9th last time at Doomben. Has the talent to rebound quickly and taking on easier opposition. Should come to hand quickly. Definite claims for punters.

AAP

Racing in great heart. Midfield, overhauled them for a strong win in soft going this venue. Wet tracks certainly don't pose a problem and primed to give another strong account.

ILB

Finished well when winning last start at this track. Racing consistently since returning from a break. Rates as one of the key chances.

RP

Career record shows her ability to win (wins-runs record of 3-12); got the job done in a handicap by a neck last month; has to be considered.

RSIS

Ran over the top of them when winning last start at the track. Displaying good ability since returning from a break. Can take this out.

AAP

On pace but conceded late at Port Macquarie for new trainer. On pacer. A few runs under his belt this campaign, can fill the minors here.

ILB

Was $4.80 and getting tired late when 4th last start at Port Macquarie. Should be going forward early. Large claim helps. Will be tested.

RP

Not disgraced when fourth at Port Macquarie over 7½f (handicap) ten days ago on debut for this trainer.

RSIS

Odds of 4/1 and outmatched in the late stages when 4th last start at Port Macquarie. Likely to be well placed early. The large claim from Siabh Rigley helps.

Long winning drought. Unable to make an impression at Ballina. First time around Grafton. Has plenty to find on latest offerings. On trust.

ILB

At $31.00 uncompetitive when 6th last time at Ballina and has more weight to carry. Goes well on a rain affected track with 3 wins from 5 attempts. Rough chance today.

RP

Not disgraced in sixth over 6½f at Ballina (handicap, close behind Venom Wolf) 16 days ago; shown signs of promise here and there and could be in the mix.

RSIS

Started 30/1 and not in contention when 6th last time at Ballina and has to carry more weight this time.

Solid 60.5kg winner at Coffs Harbour 13 Sep. Modest performance at Ballina after easing in betting. Effective wet. One for multiples.

ILB

Started at $17.00 and improved when 4th last run at Ballina but has to cope with a weight increase. Not without a chance.

RP

Solid effort when beaten 2l to finish fourth over 6½f at Ballina (handicap) two weeks ago; has won here previously.

RSIS

Started 16/1 and hit the line well when 4th last run at Ballina but going up in weight. Keep safe.

AAP

Won a 1615m Benchmark 66 at Taree two back. Big weight took its toll at Tamworth. Pace influence. Commands attention here.

ILB

Was $4.40 and ran 4th last run at Tamworth. Displays good tactical speed. Known wet tracker with 3 wins from 6 attempts. Has some claims.

RP

Gave it a good shot when a close fourth at Tamworth last month.

RSIS

Started 10/3 and ran 4th last time at Tamworth. Should jump out and bowl along. Will relish the heavy going with 3 wins from 6 attempts. Not at all out of this race.

Doomben Hcp (65) placegetter 12 Sep. Had all before her at turn and went home tamely at Eagle Farm. Won only other time at Grafton. Can hit back hard here.

ILB

Not up to standard when 7th last time at Eagle Farm. Should bounce back and will appreciate the drop in grade. Producing consistent results since coming back from a spell. Will go close.

RP

Has winning track form; useful in this grade; not beaten that far at Eagle Farm (dropped to 7f) two weeks ago in a conditions race; best of her form suggests ability; can make a bold bid.

RSIS

Not competitive when 7th last time at Eagle Farm. May see an upturn in form and matched against less formidable competition. Looking sharp on the track of late. Expect a forward showing.

AAP

Not disgraced at Ballina. On pacer. Won't want it too wet. Can fill the minors here.

ILB

Odds of $4.20 and couldn't stay in touch when 7th last run at Ballina but suited by the weight drop. Respect the betting.

RP

Just over 2l behind the winner, Cosmic Coco, at Ballina when producing a respectable effort 16 days ago; not hard to turn elsewhere as regularly been coming up a bit short lately.

RSIS

Odds of 10/3 and weakened to finish 7th last time at Ballina but dropping weight. Betting is the best guide.

Won from just off the pace-setters at Ballina. Wet-weather credentials the big query. Capable of figuring again.

ILB

Dashed home to win last start at Ballina and has the ideal barrier. Considerable improvement needed.

RP

Scored by a slim margin in a handicap at Ballina when Dark Chill and Piplup were behind him 16 days ago; despite that Ballina success, one to tread carefully with.

RSIS

Was eating up the ground late to win last start at Ballina and will appreciate a good stall.

AAP

Now 5 weeks between runs. Went back, closed intently at Coffs Harbour. Could give some cheek at odds.

ILB

Started at $6.00 and moved ahead of some to finish 4th last run at Coffs Harbour and gets a favourable draw. Likely to get back in the run. Would rather look at others.

RP

Good effort when beaten into fourth by less than a length five weeks ago (Coffs Harbour); effort boosted by ninth winning since; a previous winner here; not been able to get her head in front lately so may have to settle for supporting role at best.

RSIS

At 5/1 pushed past some when 4th last time at Coffs Harbour and can find a nice position from the draw. Likely to get back. Large claim helps.

Long time since last saluted. Ridden back, battled home without threatening at Ballina. Facing an uphill task.

ILB

Started at $101.00 and tailed off when 9th last start at Ballina. Has to have a lot go its way.

RP

Fair effort when beaten just over 3l, finishing ninth of 11 (Ballina) 16 days ago; recent form hardly the most inspiring and a while since she's been in the winners' enclosure (last win in 2024); not hard to turn elsewhere.

RSIS

Odds of 100/1 and lacked competitiveness when 9th last time at Ballina.

AAP

Prominent to 400m but threw the towel in quickly at Port Macquarie. Has early speed. Others with more appeal.

ILB

On a short back up. Gave them a lesson when winning by a margin of just over 4L last run at Wauchope but competing in a higher grade.

RSIS

On a short back up. Was rock solid when winning by a margin of over 4L last start at Wauchope but racing against tougher rivals.

Odds correct as at . Odds can change.
