LADBROKES FORM GENIUS Maiden Plate 1609m
Gee Up to take up the running with Mohawk Warrior and National Goal close at hand. COMBAT CRUSADER (1) just ran into one better here last time out and will be ready to peak now third-up from the spell. Strikes a very winnable contest and rates the testing material against this lot. MISS COMANECI (9) has hit the top-four at her past three outings and looks to be working up to a maiden victory. Looms as the main danger. NATIONAL GOAL (7) wasn't too far away when resuming around this circuit and will have come on with that run now under the belt. Top-three candidate. CRYPTOLOGY (2) put in a career-best performance when runner-up at Mackay and may have turned the corner now. In the mix. GEE UP (3) rounds out the selections in a race with only a handful of chances. SUGGESTED PLAY: Combat Crusader to shed the maiden tag. |

LADBROKES MATES MODE POTS QTIS Three-Years-Old Handicap 1000m
Expecting I'lltellyoui'min to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint trip. TARONG (1) was a touch disappointing last time out but go on the solid Cairns win two back. Will be rock-hard fit for this and should give backers a sight over this sprint journey. VEGAMEISTER (2) has a handy record over this track and trip with a win and a placing from three attempts. Gets the services of Butler in the irons and can make his presence felt. MISTER TIA (3) has hit the top-five in five of six career efforts and is usually thereabouts. In the mix. SPIRIT OF BLUEY (7) was in the betting when just missing the placings on debut and where there's smoke there's fire. Keep safe. RAFF VADER (5) next best with Wiggins on board. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 1,2,3,7. |

LADBROKES ODDS SURGE BENCHMARK 60 Handicap 1200m
Hit Snooze and Restrictions can be prominent. DEALING'S DONE (1) has been racing consistently of late with a win and three top-four finishes from his past four starts and will be at peak fitness for this. Gets 3kg off with the claim and is drawn to get all the favours from the inside alley. Rates the testing material. GOODNIGHT ROMEO (9) has won two of his past three outings and winning hoop D'Avila sticks in the saddle. Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake. SPIRIT OF GIVING (4) got a well-deserved victory here at the latest effort and will have taken some confidence from that win. Can go back-to-back without surprising. BURRANEER BUOY (3) didn't measure up in the Cairns Newmarket last time out but will find this assignment easier. Capable of bouncing back. PRINCE AKEEM (10) best of the rest while fresh. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Dealing's Done. |

HYGAIN Class 2 Plate 1200m
Solid tempo with Foneeleven possessing enough dash to find the front. The penny has dropped for PRIDE OF VENUS (8) who has put back-to-back wins together to start the campaign and is racing with a lot of confidence. Expected to take plenty of stopping again. Former NSW galloper AGED CARE (1) is having his first run for the new stable but should find this easier than what he faced down south. Ideally placed in this contest. INDEFINITE (2) got the job done over this track and trip last time out and will be ready to peak now third-up from the spell. Top-three credentials. FONEELEVEN (5) hasn't done much wrong with a win and a placing from two outings to commence the career and looks to have plenty of upside. In the mix. COLOURS OF AUTUMN (6) is first-up for the new yard and any market support must be noted. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 8,1,2,5. |

GREAT NORTHERN BREWING CO BENCHMARK 55 Handicap 1609m
Convertor to take charge ahead of Joe's Giggle at a solid tempo. OUT OF LUCK (2) has grown a leg since joining the new stable with two wins and a placing from just three starts and will be at peak fitness for this fourth-up. Gets gun hoop Wiggins on board from the favourable draw and another strong showing would not surprise. CONVERTOR (7) loves it here on his home circuit with two wins and eight placings from 16 spins. Should be able to sit up on speed and will give backers a sight. MORDECAI (5) doesn't win out of turn but is usually thereabouts and is a must for the multiples. AL RAS BLUES (6) is a winner over this mile journey and only needs some luck navigating from the sticky alley to be playing a role in the finish. JOE'S GIGGLE (1) is a last-start winner who shouldn't be slept on. SUGGESTED PLAY: Out Of Luck to salute. |

MITAVITE RATINGS BAND 0 - 55 Handicap 1000m
Plenty of pace with Calm Is Power and Torque Of Dreams leading from Sowilo Siren. MARGOT BARBIE (5) resumes here but the form she has shown in previous preparations was good enough for a race like this. Gets in well at the weights with the 3kg claim and can run a big race while fresh. SOWILO SIREN (1) saves his best form for this sprint journey and is another to get some weight relief. Hard to beat in this suitable contest. CALM IS POWER (3) has placed two from four over this course and distance and is usually thereabouts. Anticpate a bold showing. TIPPED OFF (2) will be rock-hard fit for this and gets Wiggins on board to overcome the sticky draw. In the mix on best form. PURPOSE 'N' VISION (6) best of the rest. SUGGESTED PLAY: Margot Barbie to return a winner. |

NEXT MEETING SUNDAY 5TH OCTOBER OPEN Handicap 1000m
Solid tempo with Fodor leading from Mr Metrics and Outback Action.
HIGHBAR (6) has a handy record over this sprint journey only missing a drum once in six attempts. Has been right there in all four runs this time in work and should be going very close again. FODOR (4) goes well for rider Wiggins who has four wins and four placings from just ten steers. Doesn't know how to put in a poor one and has to be included in calculations. JEMELDI (2) didn't measure up in the Cairns Lightning two back but put in an improved performance placing at Mackay last time out. In the mix on best form. TIME TO PROPHET (10) is a four-time winner here on her home circuit and maps well from gate three. Can feature in the outcome. OUTBACK ACTION (1) next in line. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 6,4,2,10. |

PALLARENDA STAKES 25TH OCTOBER Class 5 Handicap 1400m
Expecting You Are King to bounce to the front and lead from the low draw. BLUE STEEL (12) is racing in a rich vein of form this campaign with three wins and two placings from just five starts and is racing with a lot of confidence. Is a four-time winner over this seven-furlong journey and should be right there when the whips are cracking. MOEGREEN (9) grows a leg for rider Cormack who has only missed a drum once in seven steers. Drawn to get a gun run in transit from the inside marble and should play a major role in the finish. JOHN JOSEPH (3) is a two-time winner here who has saluted on all going and is usually thereabouts. Top-three credentials. The well-related BRASCO (4) (half to G2 winner Blueberry Hill) has gotten better with each run this time in and looks to be building up to another victory. In the mix. DANCE FOR ME RANDY (11) next in line. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Quinella 12,9,3. |
