Race 6 — Sub-Zero Airconditioning Mdn Plate 1100m · jumps Sat 14 Nov, 9:24 pm AEDT

Race preview

Welcome to Toowoomba for race six, the Sub-Zero Airconditioning Mdn Plate over 1100m on a Soft 5 track with showers about. The win market order has On The Cusp sitting proudly at the top of betting, closely followed by Vickers Vimy, Portnova, and Troy Boy right behind them in the early markets. The numbers jump off the page here for a cracking three-year-old maiden showdown under lights at 9:24 pm AEDT. Let us dive straight into the form and find some value for a big night on track!

The numbers say On The Cusp rates a real chance returning from a fifteen-week break, boasting two placings from two starts at this track and an impressive trial win here on heavy ground. Vickers Vimy also draws well from barrier one for trainer David Vandyke, coming off a sharp barrier trial win at Deagon following a solid fifty-five thousand dollar purchase. Troy Boy brings consistent placed form to the table too, having just missed at Warwick before slogging away well behind the winner at this venue, and maps nicely to give a strong sight from barrier two.

Looking further down the win market order, Portnova kicks off a second campaign after placing on debut at the Gold Coast and warming up with a couple of trials for the Michael Nolan stable, which is currently flying high. Meanwhile, Make Me Shine brings early speed from the backmarker lane to keep things interesting. Check the live odds and jump into the action with UpYaGo.

AAP

Fronting up for second campaign (19-weeks). Failed to stamp himself on the race at Ipswich debut 3 Jul. Learnt plenty there. More a minor money chance here.

ILB

Resuming after break. Odds of $10.00 and moved ahead of some to finish 5th last time at Ipswich and having second career run. Will need everything to go right.

Far from disgraced, finishing fifth, on his debut over this trip at Ipswich at 9-1 in July; returns from a layoff; now knows what is expected of him; a possible player.

RSIS

Back from a break. Was 9/1 and showed some merit late when 5th last start at Ipswich and having second race start.

Sent out $101 when unable to threaten at Doomben. Hope for exotics only.

ILB

Started at $101.00 and faded away to finish 9th last time at Doomben. Will be positive in the run early. Rather have another day.

Six-race maiden though does have a third place to his name; ninth of ten beaten 7l at Doomben over 6f (maiden) last week; a few rivals look in good form so makes little appeal.

RSIS

Was 100/1 and couldn't maintain the pace when 9th last run at Doomben. Will be positive in the run early.

Honest performance without menacing winner at Barcaldine at second appearance. Switching to 1100m. This looks a deeper race.

Competitive effort when 2nd last start at Barcaldine. Been in the money each start this campaign.

AAP

Just missed at Warwick 10 Oct. Slogged away behind the dominant winner this venue. Drawn to get a conservative run. Commands attention here.

ILB

Did well to finish 3rd beaten by more than 5L last run here and has a good draw. Has some claims.

Stepped up on his last two starts; just over 5l third here over 4½f (maiden) three weeks ago.

RSIS

Good performance to run into 3rd last run here and will try to take advantage of the draw. Ryan Wiggins and Kristie Clark-Peoples have a good working relationship. Betting is the best guide.

Trials (1:1-0-0). $55k purchase. Out of a placed mare. Indicated some ability with solid trial victory. Nice gate. Forward type and primed to run a big race.

ILB

Debutant 3yo by Better Than Ready for trainer David Vandyke and drawn well. Success in a barrier trial at Deagon on Oct 30th. Watch for a sign in the market.

Related to 6f winner Kenny The Baker; from a powerful stable; already gelded; can give it a good shot as some good aspects to his profile.

RSIS

First appearance at the races 3yo by Better Than Ready for David Vandyke and will be aiming for a soft run from the draw. Watch early betting.

Ridden back and never a factor at Gatton second-up. Usually gets back. Others with more appeal.

Backs up quickly. Odds of $18.00 and clearly outclassed when 7th last run at Gatton but stepping back up in trip.

RSIS

Backs up quickly. Was 17/1 and unsatisfactory performance when 7th last start at Gatton but going back up in trip.

Highly encouraging debut performance at Charleville 3 Nov when supported. Solid opening effort though this is a different kettle of fish.

ILB

In the money when 2nd last run at Charleville and having second race start. Large claim helps. Gets a chance against these.

Just held on her debut (5f, Charleville) at 7-4 11 days ago; progress needed on this second career run.

RSIS

Ran 2nd last run at Charleville and was on debut last time. Large claim helps. Has a good chance.

Trials (4:0-0-1). Latest trial was reasonable but strikes a tough race. Hard to dive into on debut.

Initial appearance 3yo by The Mission for trainer Beau Gorman. Interesting to see the tongue tie go on for the first time. Market as guide.

First start under rules for this three-year-old daughter of The Mission; must be respected.

RSIS

Beau Gorman 3yo by The Mission on debut. Interesting gear change of tongue strap on first time. Placed 3rd in a trial at Deagon on Oct 30th.

Back for second campaign (15-weeks). In the minors on debut last campaign while warmed up with an impressive trial. Right in the mix again fresh.

ILB

Had a break from racing and returns to competition. Competed in a tight contest last run at this track. Won a trial at Toowoomba Inner Track on Oct 30th. Will show up at the business end.

Beaten a short head when second in August; lightly raced with this just her third appearance; others more persuasive given the form of her last race isn't working out well.

RSIS

Had a break from racing and returns to competition. Missed by a narrow margin last run at this venue. Won a trial at Toowoomba Inner Track on Oct 30th. Tough competitor.

Kicks off second campaign (19-weeks). In the minors at Gold Coast on debut last campaign while warmed up with 2 trials. Looking for more from this filly this time in.

ILB

First up from a break of 19 weeks and improved to place when 2nd beaten by just short of 2 1/2L first up last preparation at Gold Coast. Could feature here.

Creditable fifth at Ipswich four months ago; lightly raced (this just her third race); has had some time off.

RSIS

Resuming and ran on when 2nd resuming last preparation at Gold Coast. Unplaced in multiple trials. Watch the betting.

Kicks off second campaign (21-weeks). Unremarkable debut performance at Doomben at double-figure odds 17 Jun. Monitor betting.

ILB

Racing fresh after a break. Odds of $20.00 and faded to finish 7th last start at Doomben but fitter for debut run. Gets some weight taken off. Considering others.

Held on her debut at Doomben in June seeming green; layoff to overcome; hard to see her getting off the mark second time up.

RSIS

First run back after a break. At 19/1 struggled with the pace when 7th last run at Doomben but fitter for debut run. Goes down in weight.

Ex Peter Robl. Trained here now. Started $51 when safely held in Maiden company at Doomben. Can make a positive start for new trainer.

ILB

Freshened up. Underwhelming when 7th last start at Doomben. Shows good early pace. First start for a new trainer.

Out of the frame (beaten 4½l in seventh) at Doomben two months ago; stepped up on her last two starts; first start for new stable; others are preferred.

RSIS

Back from a let up. Uncompetitive when 7th last time at Doomben. Should muster plenty of early toe. Racing for a new trainer.

3yo by Jonker having initial appearance for trainer Brent Gray. Fitter for a trial at Deagon on Oct 30th. Betting is the best guide.

First time on the track; sibling of Little Iffy (5½f winner); respected with signs of encouragement in profile.
