RACE ONE

FAVREAU (1) fired out from gate 3 here two starts back at the sprint trip and from the front was able to see them off to claim a half-neck margin. Pressing forward last start but repelled that left him exposed early until cover arrived, the gate at this trip is a huge asset.

MALINJANG (2) was not suited from inside the second line last start when buried in the run and never finding the space required to offer. A gritty 3rd from the second line two starts back when only a head from the winner, she can get forward and throw down the challenge.

TRALEE MAXIE (4) rolled forward to sit parked last start over the sprint and fought on for the bronze when 6m astern of the winner. He can be thereabouts once again.

ILLBEWATCHING (8) eased to the poles last start to search for the shortcuts when finishing 7m from the winner. Doing some early work two back from a wide gate, he can feature here.

SELECTIONS: FAVREAU (1), MALINJANG (2), TRALEE MAXIE (4), ILLBEWATCHING (8)
SUGGESTED BET:

RACE TWO

FLO RYDA (1) rolled forward from gate 4 last start and content to sit parked displayed a side that has not been seen from him previously. In for the fight, he was able to grid out a strong victory with a 3m margin. With all the options at hand, he can chase another victory.

OFFYAROCKA CROCKER (8) forced the issue last start from gate 4 to get across to find the front and once in control tried to finish them off when 4m from the winner and missing the placings. Too strong for them here two starts back, he has been thereabouts and can challenge again.

ROMERO (5) arrives with the visiting Betts stable and will be having his first start following a barn switch. With Bathurst form against stronger opposition, he can feature fresh.

DOCTA FEELGOOD (7) will be requiring a slice of luck at some point from this alley as he looks at risk of being buried. Under 2m from the winner last start when chasing a hat-trick, he will be probing.

SELECTIONS: FLO RYDA (1), OFFYAROCKA CROCKER (8), ROMERO (5), DOCTA FEELGOOD (7)
SUGGESTED BET: Exotics 1-5-7-8

RACE THREE

MISS BAY KING COLE (4) faced the starter just twice during her last campaign before being shut down and sent back to the paddock. Down the line in the 3YO Fillies Triad Final at her last run the previous campaign, she has trialled soundly in readiness for the return.

ETERNAL GOLD (5) eased from this gate last start and from deep field was making some late metres chasing behind FLO RYDA. Runner-up from outside the second line two starts back, he has the wide gate again, but tempo will assist his challenging chances.

ADRENALINE RUSH (1) was locked away two starts back and using the passing lane grabbed the bronze before finishing runner-up to FLO RYDA last start. The gate is a huge plus.

DANIEL BOOM (3) found his conditions at Marburg two starts back here he took control from gate 1 and saw them off to score. Buried last start, he can press forward to feature.

SELECTIONS: MISS BAY KING COLE (4), ETERNAL GOLD (5), ADRENALINE RUSH (1), DANIEL BOOM (3)
SUGGESTED BET:

RACE FOUR

HOIHO (1) was asked to sit parked last time out from gate 3 and after the tough trip, wilted to finish at the rear. Rattling home from back in the pack to score here three starts back, he lands all the options from the gate to capitalise.

DOLLARBILL (5) was asked to work int h middle stages over the AP mile two starts back and was game in holding on for the silver. Trying to see them off here last week from the front, he was collared in the last stride and despite a wide gate will throw it down here.

CHARLIE CHUCKLES (6) got it all wrong last time out when making an error. Attacking the line at Marburg two starts back when 2nd, he can defy the gate to join in.

EXPLANATION NOTED (2) eased to the outside to sit parked for the last 1000m here last week and was fighting to the wire to go under by an eyelash. She can feature again from this alley.

SELECTIONS: HOIHO (1), DOLLARBILL (5), CHARLIE CHUCKLES (6), EXPLANATION NOTED (2)
SUGGESTED BET: HOIHO (1) to win

RACE FIVE

CHANCELESS CENTURY (4) was sent around them from the second line here two starts back to take control, only to be worried out of it by BILLY GLANVILL. Eased off the poles from inside the second line last start and sent to sit parked and gripping on, a return to the front line is a boost.

VINCERO (6) returns for another Qld campaign and will tackle this fresh following his last start at Dubbo in early March. A winner in one of his three appearances on this deck at his last visit, the gate dents the chances fresh up, but he cannot be overlooked.

DIGBY DEMON (3) started from inside the second line last start and was soon buried in the run when finishing midfield behind MY GIRL MANDY. Fitter after three runs back, he has podium claims.

NUCLEAR BLING (1) released the speed from this gate last start and was able to grip on for 3rd. From the same gate she has the options to replicate the result.

SELECTIONS: CHANCELESS CENTURY (4), VINCERO (6), DIGBY DEMON (3), NUCLEAR BLING (1)
SUGGESTED BET: CHANCELESS CENTURY (4) to win

RACE SIX

MERMAID BEACH (4) made the most of gate 1 last time out when burrowing through and from the front was able to set a leisurely tempo through the first half. Getting more serious over the closing stages to claim victory, she resumes from a freshen and finds the rate race to repeat.

SIX TIMES A LADY (9) was snookered on the fence at Parkes two starts back and when spotting space was able to grab the silver. Unable to reel them in at Dubbo last start, she comes into this fresh and with the right trail, can be making a closing challenge.

JIMMY JOYCE (2) showed some arm hustle last start before settling with running line cover but could not go on with it in the closing stages. From the gate in this line up, he can be thereabouts.

THREE ONE FOUR (3) has hit the board in 50% of her outings this year, the latest when trying to make late metres with a 3rd to ACHROMATIC. Positioning cheaply will be key to her chances.

SELECTIONS: MERMAID BEACH (4), SIX TIMES A LADY (9), JIMMY JOYCE (2), THREE ONE FOUR (3)
SUGGESTED BET: MERMAID BEACH (4) to win

RACE SEVEN

SAMANTHA CEE (1) resumes from a spell following her last start victory back in November when breaking maiden ranks with a passing lane victory. Tuned up for the return with a smart hit out on this deck, she can secure the perfect trip to strike fresh.

IDEAL PERFECTION (2) was runner-up here two starts back when rolling forward from the second line to sit parked and graft out the silver behind DARIN. Striking trouble last start, he finds the gate to press forward and throw down the challenge.

PENNIE PACKER (9) set the tempo here last week when second up from a spell but could not put them away when finishing with the silver. Despite the tough gate, she cannot be ignored.

MY ULTIMATE COSSIE (7) was asked to sit parked last start and after the tough trip could not finish it off, fading to midfield. Probing for the openings, he can chime in.

SELECTIONS: SAMANTHA CEE (1), IDEAL PERFECTION (2), PENNIE PACKER (9), MY ULTIMATE COSSIE (7)
SUGGESTED BET: SAMANTHA CEE (1) to win

RACE EIGHT

POM PAY (2) returns for the visiting Betts stable having hit the board in six of her eight previous attempts on The Triangle. Holding on for 3rd at Dubbo two starts back, she was strong to the line last time out at Young when only a neck away. She can start this trip in style.

BLISSFULL IDENTITY (1) burrowed through from this same gate last start to set the tempo but could not finish it off when finishing 2m from the swooping RANCHO MAN. Fitter again after three starts for the new barn, he finds the opposition and alley to issue the challenge.

MATAI REACTOR (6) is afforded no favours from this gate as he attempts to continue his good form that has seen him runner-up at his past two. Despite the gate, he is a minor hope.

LESVOS LAD (9) was a winner here four starts back when finishing best in the closing stages to score. Placed at his past two starts he can be chiming in once again.

SELECTIONS: POM PAY (2), BLISSFULL IDENTITY (1), MATAI REACTOR (6), LESVOS LAD (9)
SUGGESTED BET: POM PAY (2) to win

RACE NINE

NO FAMILY LIKEMINE (5) was on debut last week when fired off the arm to set the speed as a red figure fav. Unable to put them away on a night where a few leaders struggled, he will need to overcome the wide gate, but his trial suggests he has the ability to capitalise.

CULLECTINGCARDLES (1) was first up following the stable switch last start when pressing ahead from gate 6 over the AP mile to set the tempo. Gunned down in the stretch, she heads to The Triangle for the first time, but finds the gate an opposition to throw it down.

SNIP OF BEAUTY (3) was not that far from the impressive winner COOL AND CLASSY last start. Placed her previous five in succession, she has podium claims again in this.

FANCY LIKE BARBIE (8) did some early work here last week to secure position when holding on for the bronze behind GREAT ACHIEVER. With the right trail, she is a place chance.

SELECTIONS: NO FAMILY LIKEMINE (5), CULLECTINGCARDLES (1), SNIP OF BEAUTY (3), FANCY LIKE BARBIE (8)
