Comments
AAP
Experienced campaigner. Landed Birdsville Cup win Birdsville 5 Sep. Started $5.50 when safely held in Open company at Atherton. Can make his presence felt.
ILB
Jumped at $10.00 and unimpressive effort when 9th last run at Atherton but has the ideal alley. Should muster plenty of early toe. Will have to carry more weight. Would be more keen on the chance of others.
RP
Ninth of 11 beaten 6l over 7f at Atherton (handicap) three weeks ago; useful at this level; big chance if excused most recent run as achieved handicap success two runs back.
RSIS
At 9/1 unimpressive effort when 9th last start at Atherton but drawn by the rails. Has early pace and positions nicely. Goes up in weight.

Consistent lately in this grade. Solid finish from the tail at Longreach. Won only other time at Cloncurry. Super fit from racing, could give some cheek at odds.
ILB
Ran home into 2nd last start at Longreach and has a good draw. Exhibiting good form since coming back from a spell and back to a longer distance.
RSIS
Flashed home late into 2nd beaten by 1L last start at Longreach and drawn nicely. Putting up notable efforts in recent runs and stepping back up in distance.

AAP
Won two from last three. Thrashed a small field at Mt Isa for new stable. A distance specialist. Cops more weight for last win this grade but can do it again.
ILB
Gave nothing else a chance when winning by over 4L last time at Mount Isa and strong performer at this trip. Rises in weight. Holds a major chance.
RP
Admirable career strike-rate (four from 18 to date); caused 12-1 upset over 7f at Mt Isa (handicap) last month on debut for this trainer; is a player.
RSIS
Was very impressive when winning by just over 4L last time at Mount Isa and hard to fault at the distance. Up in weight. Will go close.

AAP
Experienced campaigner. Unable to make an impression at Atherton over longer assignment. Switching to 1600m. Rough place prospect only.
ILB
Average at best when 6th last start at Atherton and coming back in distance. Will be giving the leaders a big start. Making up the numbers.
RP
Largely disappointing since successful in a handicap at Cairns 48 days ago; missed the frame (beaten 7l into sixth) over 1m2f at Atherton (handicap) last month; is passed over.
RSIS
Disappointing run when 6th last start at Atherton and back to a shorter trip. Expected to settle towards the rear.

Comments
AAP
Raced in back half and never likely at Longreach for new stable. First time around Cloncurry. Capable but will need to lift sharply from that run.
ILB
Was $6.00 and struggled with the pace when 7th last time at Longreach. Can make a comeback. Jockey Chris Whiteley and trainer Mark Oates make an imposing pair. Will go close here.
RP
Is a multiple distance winner (all wins at this trip) but needs to improve on balance of recent form; not beaten that far in seventh (8l) at Longreach last month on his debut for this trainer upped to this distance; others appeal more.
RSIS
Odds of 5/1 and weakened to finish 7th last start at Longreach. May see an upturn in form. Jockey Chris Whiteley and trainer Mark Oates are a proven combination. Should go close.

Settled midfield, ran on fairly without troubling 3yo+ Plate (C5) at Longreach. Suited by the longer assignment now. Rates highly.
ILB
Started $9.00 and inched into 4th last time at Longreach but racing against tougher rivals. Will be hitting the line strongly. Carrying less weight this time. Could feature here.
RP
Finished fourth but only beaten just over 4l last month (Longreach) in a conditions race; string of consistent efforts of late; the trainer is going well.
RSIS
Started 8/1 and pushed past some when 4th last time at Longreach but up in class. Displays very good finishing pace. Gets some weight taken off.

Dominated small field at Mt Isa under heavy support. On pacer. A few runs under his belt this campaign, among the dangers again.
ILB
Gave them a lesson when winning by just short of 7L last start at Mount Isa but facing a stronger group of contenders. Will be positive in the run early. Has some claims.
RP
Was well on top at the line over 7f at Mt Isa (handicap) last month.
RSIS
Won by a big margin of close to 7L last time at Mount Isa but competing in a higher grade. Shows good early pace. Gets some weight relief.
Odds correct as at 1:10 pm AEDT. Odds can change.
