LEVEL ELECTRICAL TOOWOOMBA QTIS Two-Year-Old Maiden Handicap 1000m
No surprise if the debutants played a key role in the tempo of the race with little speed on paper. NIFTY'S TREASURE (4) resumes from a spell of three-and-a-half months. Looked close to a win before that break, finishing off with a minor placing over 1200m at Eagle Farm. Looks ready to run following a minor placing in a recent Toowoomba Inner Track trial and is all set for a bold return. CRIMSON COMMANDER (6) is a two-year-old filly on debut from the stable of Joe Gleeson. By Churchill from Red Roses Too. Looks forward enough after a Toowoomba Inner Track trial win. Respect any market confidence. PINKISH HUE (7) debuts off two trials which have been encouraging enough. Can say something similar for CONCERNED (2) who has won both of his trials in readiness for this. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Nifty's Treasure with that all important race experience. |

BLACK GWM - HOPE CUP BENCHMARK 62 Handicap 1000m
Bulsara is the likely leader at a slick tempo. SEAMS LOGICAL (2) is backing up quickly on home turf after finishing in the money over 1100m just seven days ago. Good effort last start and is a definite winning chance. CHARMED PASSAGE (5) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when a nose away in second over 1100m at Gatton when he was prominent throughout. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. BULSARA (1) took advantage of the good draw and sat on the pace last start before tiring to finish fifth, beaten 5 lengths, over 1000m at Sunshine Coast Poly. Can figure in the finish. WANTED HILLBILLY (4) will be at peak fitness now and may earn some minor money. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 2,5,1,4. |

HARVEY BLACK GROUP BENCHMARK 70 Handicap 1300m
Rejoiced to take charge ahead of Unleash at a solid tempo. DREAM LANTERN (9) missed the placings two starts back then ran a better race and finished 6 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1300m at this track after being in contention on the corner. Likely improver with strong winning prospects. REJOICED (2) was in contention on the turn and ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 1300m here after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. WARILLA GORILLA (8) last start finished fifth over 1200m at this circuit. Draws low with the claim and look for a better run this time out. LUTON HOO (6) lines up for the first time since February 14. Looking to emulate her win at Sunshine Coast when returning from a spell last prep. Has a strong first-up record, scoring on two occasions from four starts and shapes as one to consider. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 9,2,8,6. |

HOPE HORIZONS BENCHMARK 60 Handicap 1890m
Plenty of runners but a dawdling affair is on the cards. FIRE AND LIGHT (1) did a great job to score by a nose over this course and distance last start in a far better run. Winning hoop Lowe sticks and again gets the benefit of her claim. Finds another suitable race and can go back-to-back without surprising. MICHIFUKU (2) finished 11th two runs back then did well last start but found one better over 1890m at this track, beaten only a nose after being prominent at the turn. Finds a suitable race and can find the winner's circle. HEAVENLY LOVE (5) is racing well including a last start second over 2150m at Ipswich. Expected to be in the finish. The well-related RUGBY (3) (half to G3 winner and 3xG2 placed Mallory) performed above expectations last time over 1625m at this circuit, getting the prize by 1.75 lengths. In the mix again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Fire And Light to win again. |

VALE SPIRIT OF BOOM Maiden Handicap 1300m
Something Shiny to go to the lead at a genuine tempo. SOMETHING SHINY (1) is back after a break of eight months. At the last run before the layoff he finished 14th over 1400m at Eagle Farm. Looks ready to run following a minor placing in a recent Toowoomba Inner Track trial and is a good chance to break through. The well-related JADDAF (3) (half to G1 winner Chain Of Lightning) returned last time with a solid second at this track over 1300m. Hard to beat in this suitable race. DIVINITY STAR (2) finished third last time over 1300m here, beaten 3.5 lengths. Will trim down following recent racing and is a definite top-three hope. ELLES MY NAME (9) is building towards a maiden win after minor placings at her last two runs, the latest when third over 1400m at Dalby, beaten 2.25 lengths. Tackling tougher opposition but could present some value. SUGGESTED PLAY: Something Shiny to shed the maiden tag. |

FLORENCE & MARABEL COLLECTIONS Class 1 Handicap 870m
Genuine tempo with the speedy Past Midnight leading the way. KILONOVA (2) hasn't raced since finishing sixth over 1200m at Eagle Farm on January 7 and has since switched yards. Goes well when fresh with a win and a minor placing from three starts and is sure to go well. PAST MIDNIGHT (3) impressed when successful as favourite on debut over 800m at Warwick two-and-a-half weeks ago. Will come on following that run and looks tough to hold out again. FULLY SUBSCRIBED (5) ran below expectations last time at Thangool, finishing tenth and beaten 22 lengths starting at $10. It doesn't get any easier but on her best form she is capable of a much better performance. SKY BLUE (6) returns from a layoff of four-and-a-half months. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1000m at this track. One to consider while fresh. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Quinella 2,3,5. |

LAWRENCE & HANSON QTIS Three-Year-Old Maiden Handicap 1200m
Solid tempo anticipated with Fundora and Run To You pressing forward with Tuesday not far away. TWO MINDS (1) is resuming from a spell of 11 months and having his first run for the Billy Healey yard. Was in the placings on debut last campaign at this track over 1100m. Will be forward for this after a recent trial win at Doomben and rates a key runner while fresh. FUNDORA (2) will find this a little easier than his third on debut nine days ago, beaten 1.1 lengths at the end of 1350m at Warwick. Promising type with improvement to come so he should pay to follow. RUN TO YOU (9) turned in a bold run first-up when she tried to lead throughout but faded and finished fourth, beaten 1.5 lengths at this circuit. Has ability and a bold showing is expected. SUGGESTED PLAY: Two Minds to return a winner. |
