Now 4 weeks between runs. Progressive 4year-old. Prominent and fought off challengers in an exciting battle at Townsville. Should find this a bit easier.

ILB

Took charge of the race to win by a margin of a head last run at Townsville.

RSIS

Led and controlled the pace to win by a margin of a head last start at Townsville. Ultra competitive lately with 2 wins from as many starts.

AAP

Resuming (26-weeks). Ex Natalie McCall. Trained here now. Reliable first-up performer while brought on by a comfortable trial win. Can hit the ground running for new stable.

ILB

First up and came on strongly when 3rd beaten by 5L first up last preparation at Eagle Farm. Expecting to settle positively. First start for a new trainer. Strong prospects in this race.

No impression when fifth of seven at Gold Coast over 6f (handicap) six months ago; loves this track (four course wins); returns from an absence here; first start for new trainer; every chance with a bit more luck as excuses last time (inconvenienced).

RSIS

Resuming and finished with intent when 3rd beaten by 5L resuming last preparation at Eagle Farm. Won't be far away during the run. First start for a new trainer. Rates as one of the key chances.

AAP

Just missed at Townsville 8 Sep. Winner too strong but ran on for the minors at Ewan. Not out of this.

ILB

Picked up late ground when 3rd last run at Ewan and up against weaker rivals. Will relish the track conditions but has more weight to carry. Win will not surprise.

Producing consistent form; on the premises when third of nine at Ewan three weeks ago; could be interesting.

RSIS

Did well to run into 3rd beaten by almost 4 1/2L last start at Ewan and will find this grade easier. Putting up notable efforts recently. No surprise to see solid support in the betting.

AAP

Let-up (53-days). Townsville winner two back. Latest attempt this journey when off pace, made limited headway this venue when supported. Warrants attention.

ILB

Back from a freshen up. Odds of $3.90 and came in 4th last start at this track but drawn well. The large claim from Amy Graham helps. Can't leave out of your calculations.

Finished just behind Triple Triple when fourth beaten just over 3l 53 days ago; should go well as shown he can get his head in front.

RSIS

Freshened up. Started at 3/1 and ran 4th last time at the track but has minimal work to do from the stall. Large claim helps. Has some claims.

Resuming (12-weeks). Latest trial was solid enough. Others with stronger claims.

ILB

Resuming. Not up to scratch when 7th last start at this track. Shows very good finishing speed. Respect the betting.

Has won here previously; last of seven here over 6f (handicap) three months ago; he can be taken on given many of his rivals are in good form.

RSIS

Fresh from a break. Average performance when 7th last run here. Will be trying to topple them late. Keep safe.

Let-up (44-days). Third run now in new stable/region. Showed courage and tenacity when nailed late (Bm68) at Mackay. Could add some value to exotics.

ILB

Freshened up. Close to a win last start at Mackay. Should muster plenty of early toe. Not at all out of this race.

Was a close second (Mackay) 44 days ago; others appeal more as not in the habit of winning recently.

RSIS

Back from a let up. Close to claiming the win last time at Mackay. Displays good tactical pace.

Let-up (53-days). Sent back to last and safely held in the small field this venue. Others carry more punch.

ILB

Let up. At $15.00 below expectations when 7th last run here. Modest contender.

Course specialist who has won three times here but largely disappointing since successful in a handicap at Mackay in February; finished last of seven 53 days ago in a conditions race; this looks a decent race so not easy to fancy.

RSIS

Let up. At 14/1 below standard effort when 7th last run at the track.

Went close at Mackay 3 Sep. Fair way from the winner but battled home into third this course when second-up. Maps well. Could get into the placings.

ILB

Grabbed towards the finish when 3rd last start here and can find a nice position from the draw. Likely to be well placed early. Suited by the weight drop. Good chance in this.

Often been there or thereabouts lately; didn't run too badly when out of the frame here (beaten just over 4l) 15 days ago; others more appealing.

RSIS

Claimed late when 3rd beaten by more than 4L last start at this venue and has a good draw. Shows good early pace. Been in the placings each attempt lately. Commands respect.

Let-up (44-days). In touch and fought on dauntlessly at Mackay second-up. Has early speed. All the better, can make her presence felt again with even luck.

ILB

Back from a freshen up. Flew home to win last time at Mackay. Flying this campaign with 2 wins from 2 runs. Should be going forward early.

Scored narrowly in a handicap (Mackay) 44 days ago; has won here before; goes for a hat-trick today; rates a likely contender.

RSIS

Freshened up. Reeled them in when winning last run at Mackay. Strong form of late winning 2 from as many starts. Has shown early pace in races to date.

AAP

First-up (19-weeks). In the minors at Rockhampton first-up last campaign while brought back with a Rockhampton trial. Smoky place prospect at best fresh in this company.

ILB

First up after 19 weeks and was strong late when 2nd beaten by 1 1/4L first up last preparation around here. Dropping in distance. Will benefit with the weight drop. Minor claims.

Has won at this track; held in eighth over 7f at Thangool (handicap) in June; returns from a break here; is passed over as this looks a decent race.

RSIS

Resuming and did well to finish 2nd beaten by 1 1/4L resuming last preparation here. Dropping in distance. Will appreciate the drop in weight.

Odds correct as at Sat 17 Oct, 5:30 pm AEDT. Odds can change.
