Comments

AAP

Resuming (20-weeks). Solid last campaign including multiple wins. Strong first-up performer while showing enough in recent trials. Big show fresh in this affair.

ILB

Goes well first up. Worked hard to place 3rd beaten by just short of 5L last time at Gold Coast. Chelsea Baker is a suitable booking. Hard to warm to.

Three wins from four runs here; out of the frame (beaten just under 5l in third) at Gold Coast five months ago; returns from an absence here; easy to see him making an impression as he has won after a similar break before.

RSIS

Has multiple wins when resuming. Faded at the finish when 3rd beaten by close to 5L last time at Gold Coast. Chelsea Baker rates highly.

AAP

Trimmed margin late at Doomben over this journey. Usually gets back. Could get into the placings.

ILB

Crept into 4th last time at Doomben and competing at a lower grade. Has a great burst of speed late. Strong prospects in this race.

Fair effort when beaten 4l, finishing fourth of 11 (Doomben) last month; useful in this grade.

RSIS

Edged past some when finishing 4th last time at Doomben and will appreciate the drop in grade. Expected to be flashing home. Goes well and could be a value opportunity.

AAP

Solid run (Bm72) at Toowoomba 26 Sep. No threat as a $19 chance in E&G (Bm78) at Doomben. Placed only other run at Ipswich. Commands attention here.

ILB

Started $19.00 and tailed off to finish 10th last time at Doomben. Has the ability to turn things around and suited at this distance in the past. Expecting a strong showing.

Beaten tenth of 11 (Doomben, behind Estrondo) last month; this is competitive and there are better alternatives here.

RSIS

Odds of 18/1 and struggled with the pace when 10th last time at Doomben. Looking past the last run and strong performer at this distance. Racing consistently in recent runs. Commands respect.

Kept fresh since resuming. Safely held but not totally disgraced (wide draw) at Gold Coast Poly as an outsider. Back on turf. One for exotics.

ILB

Came in 4th last start at Gold Coast Poly but has a nice advantage with a good draw. Carrying less weight this time. Hard to see it being competitive today.

Beaten fourth of ten (Gold Coast, dropped back to this trip) last month; can be in the thick of things as shown some signs of promise and recent run should have blown away any cobwebs.

RSIS

Finished 4th last start at Gold Coast Poly but can save some energy from the stall. Will appreciate the drop in weight.

AAP

Gave a good sight making the frame at Sunshine Coast. Good gate helps. Rates highly.

ILB

Managed to run into 3rd last time at Sunshine Coast and gets a favourable draw. Jockey Tiffani Brooker has a high strike rate on board and dropping weight. Capable of winning this.

Proven that she knows how to get her head in front (seeking a sixth career win); went down by just over 2l when third over 5f at Sunshine Coast (handicap) last month; strong claims.

RSIS

Ran on when 3rd last time at Sunshine Coast and will try to take advantage of the draw. Tiffani Brooker has a high strike rate on board. Strong prospects.

Outgunned but did enough for third at $3.70 at Gold Coast when second-up. Has early speed. Could pop up at fair odds.

ILB

Was quite a handful for the competition when 3rd last run at Gold Coast. Good chance and definitely has claims.

Solid third at Gold Coast last month.

RSIS

Gave a strong sight when 3rd beaten by nearly 4L last run at Gold Coast. Can measure up against these.

AAP

Comfortably beaten in rain affected going at Eagle Farm when second-up. Won only other time at Ipswich. Sharper now, rough exotics hope.

ILB

Jumped at $26.00 and basic showing when 6th last time at Eagle Farm but gets some weight taken off. Needs significant improvement.

Finished sixth but wasn't beaten too far (just over 4l, Eagle Farm) last month; has won here before; facing a testing assignment and looks an unlikely winner.

RSIS

Started 25/1 and had difficulty when 6th last run at Eagle Farm but gets some weight relief.

Odds correct as at Thu 5 Nov, 3:20 pm AEDT. Odds can change.
