AAP

Let-up (50-days). Sent forward and conceded late this course. Good draw and a proven weight carrier. Placed to effect here.

ILB

Freshened up. At $8.00 struggled with the pace when 4th last start around here. Should improve here and matched against a less competitive field. Should muster plenty of early toe. Will be fighting out the finish.

Fair effort (beaten 2l) over 5½f here (handicap) 50 days ago; winning form over C&D; in the mix.

RSIS

Let up. Started 7/1 and faded to finish 4th last time at this venue. Capable of a strong comeback and matched against a less competitive field. Has a positive draw. Will be in the finish.

Veteran who has seen better days. Settled back and didn't figure over this journey in the (Bm70) at Thangool. Others with greater appeal.

ILB

Jumped at $71.00 and below par performance when 6th last start at Thangool. Likely to settle back in the field. Prefer others.

Beaten 6l when sixth of nine at Thangool last month; subpar since successful in a handicap at Barcaldine in April; a lot on his plate here and may have to settle for supporting role at best.

RSIS

Started at 70/1 and below par performance when 6th last run at Thangool. Likely to get back in the run.

Let-up (43-days). Forwardly placed, continued to stick on at Mackay over this trip. Not out of this.

ILB

Back from a let up. Ran on when 2nd last start at Mackay and drawn beautifully. Very competitive this campaign.

RSIS

Back from a freshen up. Did well to place 2nd beaten by 1 1/4L last start at Mackay and drawn nicely.

Ex S W Kendrick in QLD. Sent out $51 when unable to threaten in rain affected going at Sunshine Coast over this trip. Can make his presence felt with even breaks.

ILB

Was $51.00 and gave away some ground when 9th last time at Sunshine Coast but up against a less challenging field. Very slim hope.

Finished ninth of 12 in a conditions race (Sunshine Coast) last month; likes this combination of C&D; a few rivals look in good form so there are better alternatives here.

RSIS

Started 50/1 and weakened under pressure when 9th last run at Sunshine Coast but competing at a lower level of competition.

5 weeks since last run. Quickened from turn and kept finding this course over this trip. Among the dangers again.

ILB

Picked up nicely to win last start at this venue. Good to see Ashley Butler is jumping on. Watch the betting.

Claimed a second C&D win 38 days ago when successful by a nose; despite that Rockhampton success, one to tread carefully with.

RSIS

Flew home to win last time at this venue. Good to see Ashley Butler is jumping on. Can't leave out of your calculations.

Ex S W Kendrick in QLD. Went home tamely at Gold Coast at $21. Has early speed. Distant place hope only.

ILB

Faded away to finish 8th last run at Gold Coast but up against a less competitive field. Can't leave out of your calculations.

Beaten 6l in eighth at Gold Coast over 7f (handicap) 13 days ago; C&D has proven suitable before; useful in this grade; her best form stacks up so she's worth a go.

RSIS

Lost ground in the run home when 8th last run at Gold Coast but facing a weaker grade. Betting is the best guide.

Let-up (73-days). Just missed at Rockhampton 11 Jul. Kept grinding away for the minors this venue over this trip. Major player here.

ILB

First up from a spell. Displayed good finishing speed when 3rd last run at the track. Strong competitor.

Suited by this C&D; produced a string of consistent efforts; a disappointing result (went off favourite) when beaten just over 2l in front of Outwitted in July; one to take seriously if in the same mood as when achieving most recent success.

RSIS

Resuming after a break. Managed to run into 3rd last run here. Strong claims.

Brave display holding on at Thangool for new trainer. On pacer. Can again play a role.

ILB

Finished with purpose when winning last run at Thangool and returning to an increased distance. Displays good tactical speed. Nikki Olzard and Jamie Mcconachy rate highly together. Watch betting.

Scored narrowly in a handicap (Thangool) last month on debut for this trainer; others more appealing despite that win at Thangool.

RSIS

Was eating up the ground late to win last run at Thangool and returning to an increased distance. Jockey Nikki Olzard and trainer Jamie Mcconachy are consistently competitive together. Not at all out of this race.

Solid 61kg winner at Mackay 20 Aug. Comfortably beaten at Townsville over this trip. Can play a role with even luck.

ILB

Jumped at $4.40 and weakened under pressure when 8th last start at Townsville. In strong racing shape since returning from a break.

RSIS

Started 10/3 and couldn't maintain the pace when 8th last run at Townsville. In fine form recently.

Failed to threaten at Emerald for new stable following market easing. Will be fitter second-up. Useful form this track. Has some claims.

ILB

Jumped at $41.00 and looked outclassed when 8th last start at Emerald. Need a lot of luck to be close to winning this.

Finished last of eight last month at Emerald on his first start for this trainer in a conditions race; winner of four races at this venue; third at Rockhampton in April and deserves respect.

RSIS

Started 40/1 and was well beaten when 8th last run at Emerald.

Odds correct as at 12:00 pm AEST. Odds can change.
