Genuine tempo from Wurzburg leading Ander's Dream. GREAT TIMES AHEAD (3) goes on top in an open race after a Hawkesbury debut that had more merit than his price suggested. Unwanted in the market, he struck an early block but was good late. With that experience and blinkers first time, he has scope to improve sharply. WIN STAR (7) has put together placings at Doomben and Ipswich, the latest as a well-supported favourite. She has the right profile fourth-up if the 1500m does not stretch her. WURZBURG (4) needs to lift off an Ipswich fifth, but a close Deagon trial and natural improvement keep him in discussion. ANDER'S DREAM (5) has been safely held at Ipswich but is race fit, gets blinkers and can be more competitive if she runs out the trip. SUGGESTED PLAY: Great Times Ahead to win.

DIAMOND IMPACT
COREY & KYLIE GERAN 3YO BAY GELDING 58.0KG I A Heilig, D P Dorge, W A Heilig, C G Geran, Mrs A Lane & Mrs K E Brunner Steps sharply from picnic grade after finishing last at Talwood in a 3yo+ Maiden, beaten over 14 lengths by Amazara with no clear excuse. The Toowoomba run prior was only sixth, beaten six and a half lengths at big odds after beginning slowly. Blinkers help, but he needs a major turnaround. |

DIAMOND OCEAN
COREY & KYLIE GERAN 3YO B/BR GELDING 58.0KG I A Heilig, Mrs A Lane, D P Dorge, W A Heilig, R J Brunner, R M Cavanagh, C J Ellis & C G Geran Steps into harder company from a provincial Toowoomba seventh, beaten just over eight lengths by Hawaiian Bloom at long odds after being slow away. His Sunshine Coast ninth in a 2yo Maiden on soft ground was also plain, with the market showing little interest. The claim helps, but recent form leaves him with work to do. |

GREAT TIMES AHEAD
CHRIS WALLER 3YO BAY COLT 58.0KG Newgate Bloodstock, China Horse Club Racing Pty Ltd, Newgate S F, Horse Ventures, Trilogy, Carpe Diem, GW Holdings, Grant Bloodstock Pty Ltd, G1G Colts & Breeding, Nick Vass Bloodstock, Aston Bloodstock, Aristia Park Bloodstock, Corumbene Stud, Serenor Holdings, Nocab Racing & Sheralee Racing Produced a more encouraging debut than the market expected at Hawkesbury, finishing fifth to Unbridled Storm after being unwanted in betting and beaten just over three lengths. He was blocked early and still had ground to make up before closing late, so there is clear improvement to come second-up. Blinkers go on and he looks a key winning chance. |

WURZBURG
ROBERT HEATHCOTE 3YO B/BR GELDING 58.0KG J C McIntosh Showed early tactical speed on debut at Ipswich, settling just off the lead before finishing fifth to Weownachevy, beaten nine lengths after offering little late. A close Deagon trial beforehand suggested some readiness, and he now has race experience for Robert Heathcote. Place hope if sharper at 1500m. |

The market had her at long odds and three recent Doomben trials were moderate. Blinkers and claim help, but 1500m demands clear improvement. |

WIN STAR
CHRIS & COREY MUNCE 3YO BAY FILLY 56.0KG Emmanuel Bloodstock Pty Ltd (Mgr: M S Sowerby), P Sowerby, L S Sowerby, J M Galluccio, I D Fairbairn, T C L Yu, P D Sedl & A J Yap Steps into harder company off a solid Ipswich second to Weownachevy, where she was a well-supported favourite, covered ground and was beaten two lengths over 1350m. The Doomben third prior behind Compel reads well enough too, with stewards noting she was held up on the home turn before closing late. 1500m is the query, but she sets the local benchmark. |
