MORETON HIRE Maiden Plate 1200m
Best Eagle and Enforceable possess good early speed and will set a genuine tempo. The maidens kick us off. LADY MILAN (10) was well-found on debut but just went down by the narrowest of margins around this circuit. Will have derived a stack of benefit from that race day experience and where there's smoke there's fire. Can go one better against this line-up. Former Victorian BARRELLING (16) is having his first run for the Gollan yard but looked handy winning a recent trial and should find this easier than what he faced down south. Respect any market moves. VAREJAO (7) is unlucky to still be a maiden placing in seven of nine overall and has placed one of one at this track. Top-three conveyance. ENFORCEABLE (6) should be able to sit up on speed and will give backers a sight. EXTREME TASTE (14) next best with the 3kg claim. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 10,16,7,6. |

CRICKS HIGHWAY QTIS Three-Year-Old & Four-Year-Old BENCHMARK 68 Handicap 1000m
Expecting Cabaletto to take up the running with Paleface Ringo and Shows A Sign close at hand. BALANCE THE BOOKS (9) couldn't have been more impressive saluting at Doomben on debut before being tipped out for further time to furnish. Tuned up for this with two solid trials and looks the runner in this line-up with the most upside. Rates the testing material. CABALETTO (6) has gone bang bang to start the campaign and it's hard to knock mares in form. Can easily bring up the hat-trick without surprising. MOULIN MISS (7) will strip fitter second-up from the spell and gets the reliable Gollan/Jones combination. Top-three aspirations. THEE CREEK (5) didn't measure up in Group 1 company before the break but will find this assignment much more to his liking. Can run a race while fresh. SHOWS A SIGN (1) has placed over this track and trip and gets 3kg off with the claim. One for the multiples. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Balance The Books. |

IMPRESSU Fillies and Mares Class 3 Handicap 1200m
In a race without an obvious leader, either Caxton Lass or Southern Charm can roll them along. IVY DEXSTRESS (6) may have suffered from the dreaded second-up syndrome last time out but go on the solid Doomben win when resuming. Has won two of three over this six-furlong journey and should be right there when the judge calls a halt. CUTEPI (3) will be ready to peak now fourth run in and maps ideally for hoop Mallyon from gate two. Has only missed a drum once in four attempts over this trip and looms as the main danger. HURRICANE LU (7) hasn't done much wrong winning both starts in lesser grade and has earned her shot at this company now. Could easily bring up the hat-trick. The well-related ANARITA (9) (full to G2 winner Kristilli) has hit the top-five in eight of her past nine outings and doesn't know how to put in a poor one. Has to be included in calculations. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 6,3,7,9. |

INTRO RECRUITMENT CUP Colts, Geldings and Entires Class 3 Handicap 1200m
The trio Simply Excels, Pareto and Botanica will set a strong tempo. SIMPLY EXCELS (8) loves this distance range with two wins and two placings from just five attempts and will be ready to peak now third-up from the break. Gets the deadly Gollan/Maloney combination and should be in this contest for a long way. Former Victorian CENTENNIAL PARK (5) resumes here for the new stable but the form he showed in his first preparation was good enough for a race of this calibre. Makes plenty of appeal while fresh. THANKYOU HENRY (3) has placed three of four over this trip, strips fitter third-up and draws the inside marble. Ticks a few boxes. PARETO (1) was a touch flat last time out but the form prior was full of merit. Worth another chance with the 3kg claim. The well-related NEGOTIATIONS (4) (half to G2 winner Hidden Motive) best of the rest. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 8,5,3,1. |

ALLIED WORLD Class 6 Plate 1000m
Speedy One, Custo and Cosmic Beauty to match motors but there will be other pressure. MEAN APPROACH (4) resumes here but has yet to miss a drum in three fresh attempts and has revved up for this with a recent Gatton trial victory. Handles all going and looks a strong chance to kick off the campaign on the right note. The well-named SPEEDY ONE (8) saves his best form for this sprint journey with three wins and a second from six attempts. Will be rock-hard fit for this and should prove very hard to toss. BONDED AFFAIR (1) goes well for hoop Thompson who has three wins and three placings from just six steers. Include in calculations. VEGAS RAIDER (9) is drawn to get all the favours from the inside alley and may make his presence felt. XPRESSO (5) next in line from the astute Vandyke barn. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Mean Approach. |

NOVA 106.9 BENCHMARK 68 Handicap 2231m
Spill The Secret is likely to take charge and set a decent tempo. SIR LAMORAK (1) has been right there in recent efforts and looks to be working up to another victory. Gets a stack of weight relief with the 3kg claim and should be playing a major role in the outcome. PIERRE CARDINNIGAN (6) got the job done at Murwillumbah last time out and winning rider Thornton sticks in the stirrups. Only needs some luck from the wide draw to be fighting out the finish. ICHIBAN (2) has saluted around this circuit and must be respected out of the champion Waller yard. Top-three commodity. Stablemate EMPIRE OF ART (10) doesn't win out of turn but is usually thereabouts and is a must for the multiples. SPILL THE SECRET (7) will gives supporters a sight up on speed. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sir Lamorak to salute. |

CANADIAN CLUB BENCHMARK 65 Handicap 1800m
Moderate tempo headed by Wowzino. WOWZINO (3) boasts a win over this nine-furlong journey and has placed two of three starts around this circuit. Will be at peak fitness for this and should be right there at the business end. ROAD TO PARADISE (10) got the chocolates at the latest effort and will have derived a stack of confidence from that breakthrough victory. Can go back-to-back without surprising. THROTTLE RESPONSE (6) hails from the champion Waller barn and looks to be working up to another victory. Top-three contender. KAFFIR LILY (9) is a last-start winner who get in very well at the weights with the claim. Has to be included. BIG TICKET BOY (2) draws the inside alley and may make his presence felt. SUGGESTED PLAY: Wowzino to win. |

LADBROKES MEGA MULTI BENCHMARK 65 Handicap 1400m
Off the low draw Irama can take it up a race lacking a genuine leader. The well-related VOVO (12) (half to G3 winner Run Harry Run) returned in sparkling fashion with an eight length romp at the Sunny Coast before just running into a couple better at Doomben last time out. Looks the runner in this field with the most upside and can return to winning ways. WAKU WAKU (13) has hit the frame in both runs this campaign and will be ready to peak now third-up from the spell. Solid top-three contender. IRAMA (3) also hails from a handy family (half to G2 winner Serasana) and gets some weight off from the favourable draw. In the mix. LIVALITTLE (14) hasn't been too far away in both runs since the break and may earn some minor money. SUGGESTED PLAY: Vovo to win. |

XXXX QTIS Three-Year-Old Handicap 1400m
Meet George has the pace to lead in what is likely to be a moderate tempo. MEET GEORGE (2) has been improving with racing this campaign and will be cherry-ripe now third run back from the spell. Is one from one over this seven-furlong trip and shapes as a leading contender. CARBONARA (8) just ran into one better at the Sunny Coast last time out and Jones sticks in the saddle following that last-start placing. Right in this contest. BRAVE MONARCH (1) broke the maiden status at the latest effort and will have taken some confidence from that victory. Can go right on with the job now. WORTHY ENUFF (5) has placed over this course and distance and gets some weight off with the 2kg claim. In the mix. MISHANI MOET (7) may provide some value for the exotics players. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 2,8,1,5. |

CANADIAN CLUB QTIS Three-Year-Old Handicap 1000m
Genuine tempo from Seams Logical leading Guac On. FORGOTTEN SPIRIT (6) competed in much richer contests in her first campaign before just missing the placings here when first-up from the spell. Should find this assignment much more to her liking and will play a major role in the finish. SPIRIT OF BARTY (10) saluted over this sprint journey when facing the starter for the first time and gets in on the minimum weight. Not to be underestimated. TORQUE TO BE SURE (1) wasn't disgraced in Group 1 company before the spell and is drawn to get all the favours from the inside alley. Watch for a strong run while fresh. SEAMS LOGICAL (7) next best out of the Webster camp. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 6,10,1,7. |

KIA OPEN Handicap 1000m
Looks a keen contest with Holy Racket and Hermanita pressing for the lead with Manhood and Zouperb close at hand. HOLY RACKET (9) has a solid record over this sprint trip with four wins and four placings from 12 attempts and is drawn to sit up on speed from the low draw. Has placed two from two over this course and distance and looks the one they all have to run down. CIFRADO (1) will strip fitter third-up from the spell and has a bit of class over this field. A better showing would not surprise. MAXIMUM OUTPUT (3) is a consistent conveyance who has hit the top-five in seven of his past eight starts. A must for the multiples at odds. HURTS SO GOOD (6) will be rock-hard fit and gets Thompson on board. Best of the rest. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Holy Racket. |
