EMERALD ISUZU UTE Maiden Plate 1280m
Only a small field with Doubtful Angel likely to find a comfortable lead. SUNSHINE SALLY (4) returns from a spell of 11 months and is having her first run for a new yard. Finished fourth at Rockhampton over 1200m when first-up last time in work. Leading contender. SPEED KING (2) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1200m at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths. Strips fitter and can feature. SAINT ANNS (3) hit the frame two starts ago at this track but ran below par last time when eighth over 1100m at Longreach. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. Suspect she rounds out the winning hopes with the other two runners in the field having both been safely held in their respective three career outings to date. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 4,2,3. |

CONVEYOR PARTNERS BENCHMARK 60 Handicap 1280m
Cracking tempo with Power Sister and All Business leading the way. Field of just four however a case can be made for each of them. DWAYNE (6) finished out of the money when seventh over 1615m at this track six weeks ago. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. POWER SISTER (3) had been racing well before she was safely held last time out when eighth over 1200m at Longreach. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Must be respected on best. ZIPITALIST (4) ran seventh last start at Townsville over 1200m when beaten 2 lengths. Finds the right race and is expected to prove tough to beat. ALL BUSINESS (2) faded out of things first up at Rockhampton. Will at least strip fitter for the run and strikes an easier contest. SUGGESTED PLAY: Win bet Dwayne. |

FARM & CONSTRUCTION PRODUCTS AND GOLDACRES QTIS BENCHMARK 50 Handicap 1000m
Expecting a strong pace from the outset with plenty of speed engaged. DON'T TOUCH (4) resumes after a break of six months. Looking to emulate her debut win over 1000m at Home Hill to kick off last prep. Expected to go very well. HIGH SECURITY (3) ran a better race last start to finish a close third over 1000m at Yeppoon. Finds a suitable race and can go on to take this out. KENNY THE BAKER (6) won his maiden three starts back and is nearing another victory with placings at his last two runs, most recently when second over 1200m at Longreach. Should settle handy in the run. Not to be discounted. I'M STELLAR (5) has been sound in each of her two runs so far this prep. Keep safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 4,3,6. |

TED HARVEY MEMORIAL 2026 BATTLE OF THE BUSH EMERALD QUALIFIER OPEN Handicap 1200m
Expecting a strong tempo over this journey. ESTE DIA (4) produced a good effort when narrowly defeated last time at Jandowae over 1200m. Winning chance. IMAGINE THAT (7) finished third two runs back but didn't measure up last time over 1075m at Thangool, finishing 5.5 lengths back in eighth. Finds the right race this time and can bounce back. JUST SUPER (2) has been in the market at his last couple of runs but failed to threaten, the latest effort a modest sixth at Longreach over 1200m. Worth another chance. FINE SHOT (5) returns after a break of five-and-a-half months. Excels when fresh with four wins from as many starts including a win over 1200m at Rockhampton at the start of last prep. Makes plenty of appeal. SUGGESTED PLAY: Este Dia to get the win. |

EMERALD SERVICE CENTRE EMERALD CUP OPEN Plate 1630m
Outback Step and Tavanasia to take up the running at a strong tempo. NEW LEVEL (8) made it back-to-back wins when successful last start over 1600m at Rockhampton, getting home by half a length. This doesn't look as hard so he is all set to add to the picket fence. POWERFUL EAGLE (9) got the prize two runs ago at Goondiwindi. Safely held last time out when seventh over 1500m at Jandowae. Finds a suitable race and can go on to take this out. CAFFREY (3) drifted well back last start then wound up strongly to finish fourth, beaten 1.5 lengths, over 1600m at Barcaldine. Worth including. ECHO POINT (4) missed the frame last start over 1600m at Barcaldine, finsihing sixth. Suitably placed so can turn things around. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 8,9,3,4. |
