Let-up (56-days). Ex Matthew J Stephens in NSW. Many starts with little to show. Started $151 when safely held in Maiden company at Moruya.

ILB

Back from a let up. Odds of $151.00 and faded to finish 8th last run at Moruya but drawn the rails. First race for a new trainer. Prefer in a much weaker race.

Yet to win after 15 starts; missed the frame (beaten 5½l into eighth) at Moruya over 6½f (maiden) two months ago; first start for new stable; passed over as this could be a hot race.

RSIS

Freshened up. Was 150/1 and didn't threaten when 8th last time at Moruya but drawn the rails. Racing for a new trainer. Hasn't placed in 15 runs.

Made late rally from the back at Townsville. Looks a safer place proposition.

ILB

Weakened to finish 7th last run at Townsville but has a nice advantage with a good gate. Will have to carry more weight.

RSIS

Folded up in the straight when 7th last run at Townsville but can save some energy from the draw. Goes up in weight.

AAP

Fronting up for second campaign (23-weeks). Ex Clinton Taylor in QLD. Left a decent impression on debut this venue at very skinny odds 14 May. Benefits from the experience. Furnished with time and will take benefit from recent trials.

ILB

Resumes after a spell. Overrun late when 2nd beaten by 1 1/4L last time at this track and having second career run. Nice enough type to be supported.

Sent off 1-2 on his debut and achieved a fair standard when runner-up in May (here, 6f); returns from a layoff here; starts out for new stable; if backing up initial run could go well.

RSIS

Resuming after a break. Couldn't keep the pace going when 2nd last run around here and fitter for debut run. Should go well.

Resuming after a (55-weeks) spell. Ex J W Zielke. Trained here now. Better suited back on turf. Market watch under new trainer.

ILB

Resuming after a break of 55 weeks. Started $26.00 and subpar when 8th last run at Gold Coast Poly and back in trip. Rough chance.

Shown only moderate recent form and defeats piling up (0-20); beaten 11l (eighth) over 7½f at Gold Coast (handicap) last September; now running for a new trainer; returns from a lengthy absence; passed over as this is a fairly competitive event.

RSIS

Fresh after a 55 week break. Odds of 25/1 and was ordinary when 8th last time at Gold Coast Poly and down in distance. First appearance for a new trainer.

Resuming after a (64-weeks) spell. Ex Tim Hughes in Victoria. Well down the track at Sale on debut as a despised outsider. Comes off a good trial.

ILB

Fresh after a break of 64 weeks. At $101.00 below par performance when 13th last time at Sale but was on debut last time. Change in trainer. Better to look elsewhere.

Ran green at Sale at 100-1 last July; returns from a lengthy absence; first start for current trainer; in the mix.

RSIS

Back from a break of 64 weeks. Started 100/1 and subpar when 13th last start at Sale but having second career run. Coming to a new trainer.

AAP

Unplaced in all 5 runs to date. Ordinary performance in small field at Bowen. Switching to 1100m. Looking elsewhere.

ILB

At $15.00 uncompetitive when 5th last time at Bowen. Has some claims.

Not beaten that far in fifth (just under 5l) over 6f at Bowen (maiden) two weeks ago; every chance as shown some signs of promise.

RSIS

Was 14/1 and mediocre attempt when 5th last run at Bowen.

AAP

Let-up (69-days). Honest performance without menacing winner at Bowen for new stable. Sound latest offering and a chance with repeat.

ILB

First run back from a break. Did well when 3rd last start at Bowen and has a positive alley. Likely to be well placed early. Represents value at a price.

Fair effort (beaten 2l) at Bowen over 5f (maiden) on first run for this trainer in August; has kicked on in her last couple of races.

RSIS

First run back after a break. In the money when 3rd last start at Bowen and gets a favourable stall. Has shown early pace in races to date. Expecting a solid performance.

Sent back to last and safely held in the small field at Cloncurry. Shown nothing in two outings so far. Can't enthuse.

ILB

Jumped at $17.00 and disappointing effort when 6th last start at Cloncurry. Rough hope.

Lightly raced (running for just the third time); finished last of six at Cloncurry over 5f (maiden) two weeks ago; makes limited appeal.

RSIS

Was 16/1 and moderate showing when 6th last run at Cloncurry.

Battled home into 4th in the small field at Bowen when in the market. Trained on track but has an adverse draw. Can't enthuse.

ILB

Started at $8.50 and finished 4th last time at Bowen. Watch the betting.

Finished fourth two weeks ago albeit only beaten 2½l at Bowen over 6f (maiden); attempts to score at the 13th time of asking; this looks a fair heat so others make more appeal.

RSIS

Was 15/2 and came in 4th last start at Bowen. Has some claims.

First-up (17-weeks). Ex L A Wright. Trained here now. More a minor money chance here.

ILB

Fresh from a spell. Started at $7.00 and below par when 7th last time at this venue and coming back in distance. Coming to a new trainer. Not at all out of this race.

Signs of improvement on last two runs but long-term maiden (0-9); held when seventh of nine four months ago upped to 1m; has had some time off; starts out for new trainer; a lot on her plate here and looks opposable.

RSIS

Back after a break. At 6/1 underperformed when 7th last start at this track and will be dropping in distance. First start for a new trainer. Watch betting.

Back for second campaign (44-weeks). More developed now. Encouraging debut performance at Rockhampton 18 Dec. Better for race exposure. Tough test first-up.

ILB

First up from a 44 week spell. Kept chasing when 2nd last time at Rockhampton and having second race start. Suggest watching.

Well held on his debut finishing runner-up at Rockhampton at 14-1 in December; returns from a layoff; should not be far away.

RSIS

First run back after a break of 44 weeks. Made considerable ground when 2nd last run at Rockhampton and was on debut last time.
