AAP

Let-up (48-days). All honours in the small field at Bundaberg. Harder test now.

ILB

Back from a let up. Bold effort to win by 2 1/2L last start at Bundaberg and form has been improving over recent runs. Likely to be well placed early. Could feature here.

Won a handicap by 2½l at Bundaberg last month; has won over C&D; others have more pressing claims despite that win at Bundaberg.

RSIS

Let up. Handy enough when winning by 2 1/2L last time at Bundaberg and showing improvement in recent outings. Should come to hand quickly. Large claim helps.

AAP

First-up (14-weeks). Can pull out a run fresh while showing enough in recent trials. Decent alley and can handle the synthetic surface. Capable of making an impact fresh in this affair.

ILB

Fresh from a spell. Good run when finishing 2nd last start at Gold Coast and up against weaker rivals. Large claim helps but back to a shorter distance.

RSIS

Back from a break. Did well to place 2nd last time at Gold Coast and competing in a lower grade. The large claim from Archie Mccolm should help.

AAP

Gave a good sight making the frame at Sunshine Coast. Winner at track and distance. Highly rated in this line-up.

ILB

Good effort to place 3rd last time at Sunshine Coast and can find a nice position from the draw. Added confidence with Tiffani Brooker doing the steering. Holds a major chance.

Produced an encouraging effort (third of eight, beaten just over 2l) over 5f here (handicap) when ahead of King Of The Jungle 14 days ago; unbeaten over this C&D after two runs; a major contender.

RSIS

Claimed a spot in the placings when 3rd beaten by 2 1/4L last run at Sunshine Coast and has a positive stall. Tiffani Brooker has been successful before. Worth strong consideration.

AAP

Solid run 3yo+ Plate (C5) at Sunshine Coast 2 Oct. Failed to threaten at Eagle Farm second-up. Winner at only other start at Sunshine Coast Poly. Stripping fitter, has some claims.

ILB

At $14.00 looked outclassed when 7th last start at Eagle Farm. Looking for an improved run and facing weaker opposition. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Well respected contender.

Missed the frame (beaten 8l into seventh) at Eagle Farm over 5f (handicap) last Wednesday; specialist here with five wins; should figure.

RSIS

At 13/1 tailed off to finish 7th last run at Eagle Farm. Should bounce back and goes down in grade. Expecting to settle positively. Stephanie Tierney is a plus. Will be in the finish.

AAP

On a quick back-up. Sent forward, outgunned late but boxed on at Sunshine Coast. First time synthetic. Well into preparation now, can make his presence felt.

ILB

On a quick back up. Picked up late ground when 2nd beaten by 1L last time at Sunshine Coast and drawn the rails. Will be trying to topple them late. Will be fighting out the finish.

Went close when runner-up here over 6f (handicap) last week; one to consider as latest run was an encouraging one.

RSIS

Racing on a quick back up. Ran on strongly when 2nd last start at Sunshine Coast and drawn well. Has good finishing pace. No surprise to see solid support in the betting.

Racing with conviction. Started $2.70 when sent forward and narrowly prevailed (Bm65). Can lead or take a sit. Shapes as a major player again.

ILB

On a short back up. Jumped at $16.00 and below standard effort when 9th last start at Eagle Farm. Tracking very well this preparation.

RSIS

Backing up quickly. Started 15/1 and performed below standard when 9th last start at Eagle Farm.

AAP

Got the wobbles late after leading at Sunshine Coast. Drawn well. Placed only other time here. Warrants attention.

ILB

Started at $18.00 and ran 4th last start at Sunshine Coast. Should race on the speed. Best to watch and see.

Finished just behind Blakemore Avenue when fourth over 5f here (handicap) two weeks ago; has won three times here but not the most consistent of horses lately; a few rivals look in good form so one to tread carefully with.

RSIS

Was 17/1 and finished 4th last time at Sunshine Coast. Will be positive in the run early.

Dropped out to last and never sighted at Warwick. New to Sunshine Coast Poly. Looking elsewhere.

ILB

Odds of $51.00 and faded to finish 9th last run at Warwick. Putting up notable efforts since resuming from a break. Facing a difficult task.

Has not been firing consistently; last of nine over 6f at Warwick (handicap) 13 days ago; this is competitive and one to tread carefully with.

RSIS

Was 50/1 and struggled with the pace when 9th last start at Warwick. Exhibiting good form since resuming from a break.

AAP

First-up (15-weeks). Just missed in Maiden company at Rockhampton first-up last campaign. Can fill the minors here fresh in this company.

ILB

First up after 15 weeks and close to a win first up last preparation at Rockhampton. Krystle Arnold stable are running hot lately but taking on stronger competition.

Not beaten too far when sixth at Gatton over 7f (handicap) in July; is passed over in what appears to be a competitive contest.

RSIS

Resuming and just shy of the win resuming last preparation at Rockhampton. Stable is in form but racing in stronger company. Likely to settle back in the field.

Odds correct as at Fri 23 Oct, 1:40 pm AEDT. Odds can change.
