Shortest win price
Always A Rainbow (2)
1.95
Moree hosts the Allan Sutton Builders & Joinery Handicap, a Class 2 scrap over 1600 metres on a Soft 7 track under fine conditions at 2:10 pm AEDT. The win market is shaped by Always A Rainbow from barrier 4, followed by Endless Applause at barrier 2 and I'm Nelson at barrier 6. Hard As Brok completes the quartet of shorter-priced runners. This is a tightly bunched affair where track knowledge and soft-ground nous will count for plenty.
Always A Rainbow sits shortest in the market and for good reason—Ben Looker's mount knows Moree well and drops to a suitable class after recent runs at Eagle Farm and Doomben. The form line reads solid: a placed effort at Doomben over this exact distance where she showed genuine ability, though a forgettable seventh at Eagle Farm came when she showed no early speed from the barriers. Trainer Stirling Osland has her wound up nicely, and the comment suggests she "will take stopping" here. Endless Applause, to the inside at barrier 2, posted wins at both second and fourth starts and handles soft ground without worry; she battled home fairly at Port Macquarie and shapes as an improved prospect after dropping to the shorter trip. I'm Nelson has form in the book—two wins from 17 starts—and kept finding the line at Doomben over this distance, though jockey Hannah Richardson's current strike rate sits below her career average, which clouds the picture. Hard As Brok, third run in the new Ridge Wilson stable, ran close at Tamworth in a sound BM58 effort and is soft-ground proven, making this third-up push a logical stepping stone.
The pace will likely be set by Always A Rainbow and Hard As Brok, who occupy the Leader speedGroup and should fight for control early. Tralee, drawn at barrier 9, profiles as a genuine finisher with the fastest overall finishing sectionals from last start and Ashley Butler's recent form running 25 per cent above his career average—that combination could threaten if the leaders tire. The view here leans toward Always A Rainbow's combination of track experience, suitable class drop, and form line that screams readiness, with Endless Applause offering an intriguing alternative at a wider quote given her barrier luck and soft-ground handling.

Solid run Hcp (65) at Doomben 12 Sep. Never a threat after showing no early speed from the barriers at Eagle Farm. Placed only other run at Moree. Will take stopping.
ILB
Not competitive when 7th last run at Eagle Farm. Should improve here and up against weaker rivals. In fine form since coming back from a break. Major chance.
RP
This is her grade; not beaten too far when seventh of eight four weeks ago at Eagle Farm in a conditions race; very interesting as has wins in her back catalogue.
RSIS
Average effort when 7th last time at Eagle Farm. Giving another chance here and competing in a less challenging grade. Going well of late. Great chance.

Kept finding the line without threatening at Doomben over this distance. Handles soft, untested heavy. Deep into his campaign, can challenge.

Was outsprinted late when 4th last time at Doomben and dropping in grade. Suited on soft ground. Watch the betting.
RP
Creditable fourth, beaten just under 2l, of nine at Doomben upped to this trip two weeks ago in a conditions race; largely disappointing since successful in a handicap at Warwick in April; not been able to get his head in front lately so others more appealing.
RSIS
Peaked in the late stages of the race when 4th last time at Doomben and will appreciate the drop in grade. Respect the betting.

Third run now in new stable/region. Close up in sound performance (Bm58) at Tamworth. Soft proven, heavy unknown. Well placed to make an impact here.

Started $7.00 and knocked up late when 5th last run at Tamworth. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Definite winning chance.

Respectable effort when fifth at Tamworth two weeks ago upped to 7f; achieved only a sole win; easy enough to take on as not in the habit of winning recently.
RSIS
At 6/1 didn't find the line when 5th last time at Tamworth. Displays good tactical pace. Definite claims for punters.
