AAP
5 weeks since last run. Ex Ms D Scott in NSW. All honours in the small field at Corowa. Has claims for a repeat.
ILB
Finished with purpose when winning last time at Corowa. Coming to a new trainer. Rates as one of the key chances.
RP
Narrow success in a handicap, breaking his duck at the ninth time of asking six weeks ago at Corowa upped to 7f; best form so far in last two starts; starts out for new trainer; should give it a bold bid.
RSIS
Finished well when winning last time at Corowa. First appearance for a new trainer. Has definite claims.

Okay at latest when settled back. Key player.
ILB
At $3.10 ran past a few when 5th last start here and has a nice advantage with a good alley. Has definite claims.
RP
Left punters frustrated after going off favourite when fifth here over 5f (handicap) three weeks ago - split Let's Ride and Electromagnetic; has won previously at this course; regularly been coming up a bit short lately so one to tread carefully with.
RSIS
At 11/5 showed some merit late when 5th last start at this venue and drawn well. One of the punters top hopes.

AAP
On a quick back-up. Put in some good work late this track over this journey. A few runs under his belt this campaign, can make his presence felt.
ILB
Racing on a quick back up. At $51.00 made some ground when 5th last run at the track. Prefer to watch.
RP
Beaten 1½l last week when sent off 50-1; finished ahead of Ceretti but was behind Ziggy Starcraft; form lately has been a mixed bag; makes limited appeal in what appears to be a competitive contest.
RSIS
On a quick back up. Started at 50/1 and outpaced some runners late when 5th last run around here.

Largely struggled in his post maiden runs. Ridden cold and never in the picture at Innisfail. Keener on others.
ILB
On a short back up. Jumped at $31.00 and unimpressive effort when 11th last start at Innisfail but carrying less weight this time. Making up the numbers.
RP
Finished 11th of 12 over 5f at Innisfail (handicap) a week ago; could be in the mix.
RSIS
Backing up quickly. Started at 30/1 and mediocre display when 11th last start at Innisfail but gets a reduction in weight. Yet to fire in recent runs.

Midfield, let down intently into the placings this track over this trip. Has some claims.
ILB
Hit the line well when 3rd beaten by 1 3/4L last start at this track. Good chance at a nice price.
RP
Good effort when just under 2l third finished just ahead of Ceretti three weeks ago; has scored over C&D; does not win very often.
RSIS
Managed to run into 3rd last time at the track. Has a good chance.

Determined effort to secure victory at Bowen over this trip. Stiffer task now but don't undersell.
ILB
Landed the spoils when winning by 1/2L last start at Bowen. Should muster plenty of early toe. The large claim from Julie Busuttin should help. Hard to warm to at present.
RP
Regularly runs here; scored narrowly in a handicap at Bowen 15 days ago; can make his presence felt.
RSIS
Bold effort to win by 1/2L last time at Bowen. Should be going forward early. Large claim helps.

Ridden back and never a factor at Cairns. Switching to 1200m. Not fancied.
ILB
At $20.00 disappointing run when 11th last start at Cairns. Likely to get back in the run. May find these too slick.
RP
A C&D winner; good and bad recent runs found on his CV; 11th of 12 two weeks ago at Cairns upped to 7f; others are preferred as this looks a decent race.
RSIS
Was 19/1 and mediocre performance when 11th last run at Cairns. Might be ridden for luck.

On a short back-up. Kept coming and just fell short this course for new stable. Better conditioned. Not out of this.
ILB
On a quick turnaround. Flashed home late into 3rd beaten by 3/4L last start here and showing improvement in recent outings. Ashley Butler and Georgie Holt deserve respect together. Can measure up against these.
RP
Went close when third on debut for this trainer a week ago; one win to his name was achieved a fair way back.
RSIS
On a short turnaround. Improved to place when 3rd beaten by 3/4L last time at this track and getting better in recent performances. Strong prospects.

On a short back-up. Finished within striking distance Hcp (C1) this venue over this distance. Right in this.
ILB
Backing up quickly. Started $6.00 and came in 6th last run here. Strong prospects.
RP
Running consistently; this looks a fair heat so looks an unlikely winner.
RSIS
Racing on a quick back up. Started 5/1 and finished 6th last run at this track. Will go close.

Comments
AAP
Came home with a wet sail to grab third Hcp (C2) this track off extended spell at odds of $61. Will be fitter second-up and rise in trip a plus. Has some claims.
ILB
Came on strongly when 3rd beaten by 3/4L last time at the track and gets a favourable barrier. Goes up in weight. Respect the betting.
RP
Unfancied when going close over 5f here (handicap) three weeks ago; has won here; a long time since her last win.
RSIS
Claimed a spot in the top three when 3rd last start at this venue and drawn nicely. Bit of extra work to do with more weight. Watch for a sign in the market.

Settled close and ran an honest race at Cairns. Drops to shorter trip. Others carry more punch.
ILB
Faded late when 5th last start at Cairns. Struggling this campaign.
RSIS
Overrun in the final stages of the race when 5th last start at Cairns. Struggling in recent runs with no placings from 7 starts.

Ex Bodine Bailey. Trained here now. Led, gave away final stages at Cairns. On pacer. Goes into wider exotics.
ILB
Started $13.00 and peaked towards the finish when 4th last time at Cairns. Shows good early pace. Change in trainer. Looks hopeful.
RP
Respectable fourth two weeks ago at Cairns upped to 7f; first start for new stable; needs to be respected if replicating the best of her form.
RSIS
At 12/1 was found wanting late when 4th last start at Cairns. Will be positive in the run early. Change in trainer.

Refused to shirk task in Hcp (50) at Bowen over this trip. Finds a harder setup.
ILB
Did well when 2nd last run at Bowen and gets some weight relief.
RSIS
Tidy run when 2nd last run at Bowen and carrying less weight this time.

Comments
AAP
On a short back-up. Long winless run. Midfield, no rally and went to line tamely this course. Others with greater appeal.
ILB
Backing up quickly. Odds of $91.00 and couldn't stay in touch when 11th last start at this venue. Yet to fire this preparation with no placings from 6 runs. Others much better.
RP
Has usually offered little in recent outings and not seen the winners' enclosure for a while now (last win in 2023); last of 11 here over 7f (handicap) last week; easy enough to take on as this is a fairly competitive event.
RSIS
On a quick turnaround. Started 90/1 and didn't find the line when 11th last start here. Struggling recently.
Odds correct as at . Odds can change.
