|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Cracking tempo with Band Of Brothers and Cherry Rose leading the way. COSMIC FIRE (7) sets up well fourth-up and down in the weights. Has proven versatile with her speed and maps to blend in at just the right time. Has been freshened with a month between runs and can give this a big shake. EPIC PROPORTIONS (2) has mixed his form since joining the QLD ranks but boasts strong peaks. Maloney reuniting is a bonus. BRAVE MONARCH (1) is a talented gelding resuming for the Munce camp. Faces quite the task from barrier 15 under 60kg but has plenty of X-factor. Not writing off. BLAZING HARRY (11) rises sharply from Benchmark grade but gets in a treat at the weights and is in red-hot touch. Thompson's booking signals confidence. LET'SFACETHEMUSIC (8) is as consistent as they come and boasts strong form references. Is sure to put his best foot forward again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Cosmic Fire each-way.

BRAVE MONARCH
CHRIS & COREY MUNCE 4YO CHESTNUT GELDING 60.0KG Hancox Bloodstock Puppet(Mgr:Ms S F Hancox), K M Anderson, Z S Broadway, B V Cavanagh, L R Ewings, I A Joblin, Mrs L S Joblin, T Knyvett, R M J Lee, M I Nelson, T J O'Malley, G Peek, J Rath, Ms N A White, C J Whitehead, Frosty Love (Mgr: S J Ferguson) & Hancox Bloodstock Flexi 7 (Mgr: Ms S F Hancox) Returns from a lengthy spell after a strong winter campaign, finishing fourth in the G3 Fred Best Classic over 1400m at Eagle Farm when beaten two lengths as favourite and striking interference midrace. The start prior he won the G2 Queensland Guineas over 1600m on heavy ground, beating Tupakara. Wide draw is the query, but the class is clear. |

EPIC PROPORTIONS
CIARON MAHER 6YO BROWN GELDING 59.0KG The Gallop Club, D Constable, D P Nguyen, Siggers, B Coopersmith, L Osman, A Petzierides, Catching Cod, A Clorley, Ms D S McGrath, D J Meers, A Millican, R E Stirling, Mrs H C Davis, A P Woods, D P Coe, Miss J A Davis & Mrs N M Garvey Went within a long neck of Polyglot in Open company at Doomben two weeks ago, holding his position strongly after racing prominently and starting near the top of betting. His previous eighth to Taltarni Fields was plain, but he has three wins from eleven at 1200m and one win from one Listed start. First look at Toowoomba is new, but he brings one of the stronger profiles. |

BAND OF BROTHERS
MATTHEW DUNN 5YO BAY GELDING 58.0KG Hesket Thoroughbreds (Mgr: D J Moodie) & Hesket Bloodstock (Mgr: D J Moodie) Closed hard for sixth behind Polyglot at Doomben in Open grade, beaten three and a half lengths after settling well back and copping interference at the 100m. That followed a Listed Ramornie Handicap win at Grafton, where he beat Pereille by just over a length as favourite. Needs to turn the tables on Epic Proportions but has place substance. |

PAT WEBSTER 6YO CHESTNUT GELDING 58.0KG G J Wippell, Mrs H G Wippell, E J Wippell, Mrs A E Wippell, Miss I H Wippell & Mrs C R Stevens Returns from a three-month break after winning an Open over 1615m at Doomben, beating Express Payment by a length and a half on soft ground. Before that he was 12th in the Listed Glasshouse Hcp at Sunshine Coast, beaten four and a half lengths at generous odds. The 1200m trip is the query, but his class keeps him in the minor-money mix. |

PAT WEBSTER 6YO BAY GELDING 56.0KG L M Berger, D F Bourke, WATO Syndicate (Mgr: A M Finlayson), Mrs K H McShane, Fill The Esky Racing (Mgr: P J Dal Santo), T R Robinson, D E N Butler, Mrs L M Butler, S M Lucas, Mrs L Grady, D H Grady, R M Cavanagh, M Alibeyi, M Alibeyi, Little Bitta Racing (Mgr: Mrs A Berger), Mrs S U McCormack & C B Returns from a three-month freshening after a fourth to Sir Artie in Open grade at Eagle Farm, beaten a length and a half after sitting behind the leaders and not finishing it off. The run prior was stronger, winning an Open at Doomben from Caspernova despite racing wide throughout. Good-track record appeals, but Listed grade and Toowoomba are the tests. |

CHERRY ROSE
JAMIE MCCONACHY 6YO BROWN MARE 54.0KG J W Sparrow, Mrs S M Sparrow, K M Sparrow & B J Sparrow Was only fair second-up at Doomben, finishing second last behind Polyglot and beaten five lengths after enjoying a handy enough run. Her Listed Helen Coughlan Stakes effort two back was also plain, tiring out to finish 13th behind Savagery Vibe. Needs a sharper second-up response. |

BILLY HEALEY 5YO BROWN GELDING 54.0KG Healey Racing, T A Horoch, P G Giemza, M D Russell, P Silk, D P Krushka, J A Young, On Fire Racing (Mgr: J P Kersten), S R Aylett, A C Lansdown, Mrs A Y Livingstone, D McIntosh, Riches Racing (Mgr: G R Riches), T Say, TTS Racing, S A Yeo, M Gasparis, B T Cunningham & B R Thomas Produced a sound third in a 3yo+ Benchmark 94 at Rosehill, beaten three lengths by Lisztomania at generous odds after being bumped in the straight. Two back he was last at Doomben behind Epic Proportions but beaten only two and a half lengths, so the bare position was harsher than the margin. Peaking now and will be hard to stop under the light weight. |

LET'SFACETHEMUSIC
COREY & KYLIE GERAN 5YO BAY GELDING 54.0KG D C Rae & C G Geran Returns from a five-week freshening after beating Fukubana by just over a length in a Doomben Class 6 as an odds-on favourite, travelling well before proving too good. His prior fourth to Epic Proportions in Open grade was better than it looked, having begun awkwardly, raced keenly and covered ground. Listed record is the knock, but he is in the mix. |

The previous Benchmark 72 win was also determined, overcoming a home-turn hold-up before beating Gambino by a long neck as favourite. Listed grade is harder, but his current form has earned respect. |

That was a sharp improvement on his Doomben tenth behind Taltarni Fields, where he missed the start and was only fair late. Deserves more respect this time. |

MEAN APPROACH
PAT WEBSTER 6YO BAY GELDING 53.0KG W J Bain & Mrs L M Bain Has been racing consistently below this level, finishing second in a CG Benchmark 78 at Doomben when beaten two and a half lengths by Gram after having work to do. The run prior he missed by a nose in an NMW behind Shelstein. SCRATCHED. |

ANTHONY FREEMAN 7YO B/BR MARE 54.0KG A T Freeman, Miss T M Schmidt & Mrs S M Wallace Comes through picnic grade after a third at Goondiwindi, beaten just over five lengths by Surreal Ascot despite being near the top of betting. Her Gold Coast Poly fifth prior over 1540m was also limited, tracking the speed before failing to go on with it. Minor track-and-trip placings are not enough to push her higher. |
