PEST WORX Maiden Plate 1000m
Ariyah and Vesper Lynd can be prominent. VESPER LYND (10) resumes here but the form she showed when last in work was good enough for a race of this calibre. Gets some weight off from the low draw and can make her presence felt. COLONEL PARKER (1) has placed six of eight overall and looks to be on the doorstep of a maiden victory. Top-three candidate. ARIYAH (5) wasn't too far away on debut and will have derived a stack of benefit from that race day experience. Can improve enough to feature in the finish. NEWELL BEACH (2) presents some value and may earn some minor money. JEZABEL JAZZ (7) is at the races for the first time and any market confidence must be respected. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Vesper Lynd. |

LADBROKES QTIS Three-Year-Old Maiden Plate 1000m
Anticipating good pressure with many of these lining up for the first time. Tricky race to assess with a few of these facing the starter for the first time. BRAVE IN SEATTLE (5) is one of them but looked good in a recent Doomben trial and Kendall stays on board for race day. Can open the account with a positive outcome. CHEEKY'S TIME (7) should be ready to peak now third-up from the spell and rates a genuine top-three contender on recent efforts. TROOPER SAM (12) has been just behind the placegetters in all three starts to date and may earn some minor money again. STRIKE ME PINK (9) gets 3kg off with the claim and can show up first time at the races. CANCELLED (11) draws the inside marble and is a must for the exotics players. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Brave In Seattle. |

SUNDOWN SIGNS BENCHMARK 70 Handicap 1000m
Hot pace certain with Immortal Lass, Ablett and Xerri keen to take up the running. SHOWS A SIGN (3) resumes here but has a handy record over this sprint journey and has revved up for this with a recent trial victory. A strong showing while fresh would not surprise. The well-related REVALENE (5) (half to 2xListed winner King Kapa) has won two of his past three with hoop Baker being in the saddle for both those wins. Can continue the rich vein of form. LOADED GUN (7) got the job done over this track and trip last time out and will have taken a bunch of confidence from that win. In the mix. XERRI (6) is a last-start winner who shouldn't be slept on. AKAKA FALLS (1) looks to have ability and makes some appeal. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Shows A Sign. |

CRITERION HOTEL DALBY BENCHMARK 70 Handicap 1400m
Just a moderate tempo headed by Never Give Up, Unleash and Chasing Jackley. CONNEWARRE (3) has a solid record over this seven-furlong journey with two wins and two seconds from seven attempts and will be ready to fire now third-up from the spell. Maps perfectly for Lerena from gate two and should be right there when the whips are cracking. CHASING JACKLEY (5) is first-up but has tuned up for this with a recent trial and has placed over this course and distance. May run a race while fresh. SUPER QUICK (2) strips fitter now and is one for the exotics. NEVER GIVE UP (1) has been thereabouts of late and is in the mix with the claim. UNLEASH (4) goes well for hoop Zechner and shouldn't be underestimated. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Connewarre. |

XXXX BENCHMARK 55 Handicap 1200m
Reasonable tempo with Zimbara probably leading but a few others should keep her honest. KINGSLAND (2) is an honest commodity who is yet to miss the top-four in five career starts to date and this is not an overly strong affair. Gets plenty of weight relief with the 3kg claim and drawn to get a cosy run in transit from gate two. Rates the testing material. ZIMBARA (7) is a second-up winner in the past and gets the services of Huxtable in the stirrups. Deserves serious consideration. BOLD AS BRASS (3) will be rock-hard fit for this and rates a genuine top-three contender on best form. PORRISTA (5) strips fitter second-up from the spell and gets 2kg off. In the mix. ALL BLACK (1) best of the rest in a race decimated by key scratchings. SUGGESTED PLAY: Kingsland to salute. |

WARREGO WATER BENCHMARK 55 Handicap 1200m
Anticipate Yes I'm Ugly, Winchman and Green Park to set a strong tempo. WINCHMAN (1) was heavily supported at Warwick last time out and didn't let backers down with a strong 1.3L victory. Winning rider Fergusson-Smith sticks in the saddle and again gets the benefit of her 4kg claim. Looks the one they all have to run down. MA'S EPIC (2) strips fitter second-up from the break and is usually thereabouts. Looms as the main danger. MISHANI PERSUASION (3) is yet to miss a quinella spot in three spins around this circuit and will be better for that first-up hit-out. Top-three contender on best figures. YES I'M UGLY (8) doesn't know how to run a bad race and is a must for the multiples. ALFA LILLY (9) best of the rest from the low draw. SUGGESTED PLAY: Winchman to go back-to-back. |

DALBY CABS RATINGS BAND 0 - 58 Handicap 1400m
Earl Of Devon to take charge ahead of Surcote at a good tempo. TRUSTY BANDIT (3) got an overdue maiden victory over this track and trip at the latest outing and will have taken a bunch of confidence from that breakthrough win. Winning rider Tilley stays on board and maps perfectly from the inside marble. Will prove tough to hold out again. MISHANI REACTOR (2) has put back-to-back wins together and is racing high on confidence of late. Can add to that winning sequence. EARL OF DEVON (1) strips fitter second-up from the break and should get a soft run from gate two. Worth including in calculations. CHANGE THE DEEL (4) has placed two from three around this circuit and looks one for the multiples. LUDIK (6) has strung two wins together and is sure to be competitive again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Trusty Bandit each-way. |

STAG MACHINERY RATINGS BAND 0 - 58 Handicap 1400m
Good early pressure with Pan A Million or Whistlin' Ruler likely to take up the running. IONACELTIC (7) loves this track and trip with a win and a second from just two attempts and must be respected from the Bruce barn. Looks the one they all have to run down. The very well-related PAN A MILLION (2) (half to G1 winner Quick Thinker and G3 winner Seasons) has been right there in all six outings to date and is yet to put in a poor one. Has to be included in calculations. PROPONENT (3) saves his best form for this seven-furlong journey and shouldn't be underestimated against this line-up. DECRYPT (4) has hit the frame at the past couple of efforts and rounds out the selections in a competitive affair. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning towards Ionaceltic. |

SOUTH SIDE BUTCHERY & BUTCHERS PANTRY RATINGS BAND 0 - 58 Handicap 2000m
Strong pace from He's Viral and Roman Dagger matching motors with Security Advisor close at hand. BAVARIAN LADY (4) has been knocking on the door of another win placing at her past four starts and looks very well placed against this line-up. Gets the services of Huxtable in the irons and can claim a well-deserved victory. GREY NORTHERN (7) put in a better effort when a close-up third at the Sunny Coast last time out and will be ready to peak now fourth run in. Sure to give this a mighty shake. SECURITY ADVISOR (6) wasn't disgraced in town at the latest effort and will find this assignment much more to his liking. Worth another chance. BRAVE BOY (2) has a win and a placing from two attempts over this course and distance and should give backers a sight. ATLANTIC ROYAL (9) next in line from the low draw. SUGGESTED PLAY: Bavarian Lady to continue the consistent form. |
