AAP

Seasoned performer. Well rated in front and kept on to win at Atherton. On pacer. Could give some cheek at odds.

ILB

Scored a victory by 2L last run at Atherton. Won't be far away during the run. Has some claims.

Scored by 2l over 7f at Atherton (handicap) three weeks ago; brings winning C&D form to the table; despite that Atherton success, hard to recommend.

RSIS

Got the prize when winning by 2L last time at Atherton. Expecting to settle positively.

AAP

Found enough to place in small field at Gordonvale. Looks a top three chance.

ILB

Backing up quickly. Amongst the placegetters when 2nd last time at Gordonvale and hard to fault at the trip. Have to respect the recent Bodine Bailey form. Expected to be competitive.

Has winning form over this course and distance on the CV; consistent performer; went close when runner-up over 5½f at Gordonvale (handicap) last Saturday; should not be far away.

RSIS

On a short back up. Tidy effort when 2nd last time at Gordonvale and ideal trip as proven previously. Bodine Bailey stable are on a hot streak. Will show up at the business end.

Comments

AAP

On a short back-up. Just missed at Townsville 18 Sep. Finished it off only fairly at Townsville. Deep into his campaign, warrants attention.

ILB

On a short back up. Was $4.00 and not competitive when 4th last run at Townsville. Has the ability to turn things around and gets a favourable draw. Winning potential.

Boasts winning form over C&D; not disgraced when fourth over 5f at Townsville (handicap) last Sunday; should not be far away.

RSIS

Racing on a quick back up. Started 3/1 and had difficulty when 4th last time at Townsville. Happy to overlook that run and has a positive draw. No surprise to see solid support in the betting.

Comments

AAP

On a short back-up. Settled midfield, let down really well at Townsville. Secures inside draw in small field. Can get the job done.

ILB

On a short turnaround. Finished strongly when 2nd beaten by 1 1/4L last start at Townsville and has drawn the rails. In good form this campaign. Holds a major chance.

Produced a good effort to finish runner-up over 7f at Townsville (handicap) last week; series of good efforts to his name; major player if building on promise shown last time.

RSIS

Backing up quickly for this race. Rattled home nicely into 2nd beaten by 1 1/4L last start at Townsville and drawn nicely. Will appreciate the drop in weight. Has to be in the finish.

Resuming (19-weeks). Boasts impressive first-up stats. On pacer. Right in the mix fresh in this company.

ILB

First up and was fighting out the finish when winning by a long neck first up last preparation at Mount Garnett.

RSIS

Resuming and got the upper hand late when winning by a long neck resuming last preparation at Mount Garnett.

Comments

AAP

Just missed at Cairns 29 Aug. Closed off late from the tail at Townsville. Since trialled at Townsville 6 Oct. Can run top three.

ILB

Started at $7.50 and chased well when 5th last run at Townsville. Has a nice turn of foot. Can show up in this at odds.

Finished just behind Turn Bird when fifth over 7f at Townsville (handicap) three weeks ago; not been able to get his head in front lately so he can be taken on.

RSIS

Started 13/2 and moved ahead of some to finish 5th last start at Townsville. Always seems to find the line well.

All honours in the small field at Ewan. This will test her mettle.

ILB

Did a good job when winning by almost 2 1/2L last run at Ewan and on an upward trajectory in recent races. Facing a stronger group of contenders.

RSIS

Landed the spoils when winning by nearly 2 1/2L last run at Ewan but taking on stronger opponents. On an upward trajectory in recent races.

Odds correct as at 4:30 am AEDT. Odds can change.
