MAJOR CRUNCH (1) started from this same gate last time when taking the trail over the mile. Attempting to launch the closing raid, he had to settle for the silver when 4m astern of the winner THE RASCAL. 8m away two starts back when forced to park, this looks within reach.

HOT ROD HARRY (8) has early options here as the lone second line runner. Following out a smart beginner for this, the past three starts have seen him unplaced, the latest after snagging back from gate 7 as EXCLUSIVE HUSTLER thumped out a big mile. He will be stalking.

AMAMI (6) is given no favours from the wide gate but will be running on strongly if the expected tempo eventuates. This is an easier assignment than his past two outings and he has claims.

LOCHINVAR CAMARO (3) is a well-bred 5YO that arrives in Qld after some mixed SA form. With the last race start back in February and no local trial, he stays under notice.

Wide gates have worked against BAIL DENIED (3) in recent starts where he has been trying to make ground. With the past four outings all at Redcliffe, a return to the big deck should assist his chances and with early speed, if he can get across, finds the right set up thereafter.

IMANI (1) has placed in seven of nine this term but somehow keeps finding a way to miss the major money. Snookered from inside the second line last time and 4m from WARRAWEE FLYER when 3rd, she was runner-up both prior outings. The gate gives her every chance once again.

VINCENT TIME (9) was only 4m from the winner MIKIS JOE last start despite finishing unplaced. Luckless at Marburg the start prior, his recent form has been against stronger competition.

MONOPOLLIE (8) will be fresh up following a last start fade out. Locked away the start prior, a soft trip here fist up should suit and he can chase minor money.

Making a fourth appearance since joining the in-form Matt Elkins barn, OAKLEY SHARD (7) comes up with the outside front line for a third time. Making a late play for 3rd at her first appearance behind NITRATOR, she has gone back-to-back, the latest starchy performance when parked. Despite the gate, she can chase the hat-trick.

EDWARD JAY (9) should be close to full fitness after four runs back from a spell, the latest at Marburg from behind the tapes when starting from 10m and finishing 2m from the winner. Trying to dictate here two starts back but fading late, he can follow through to issue a challenge.

LLANFAIR LLEWELLAN (8) tried to fend off the challengers at Redcliffe last start when 2nd behind PUMPKIN PAT. Meeting stronger opponents in his previous four, he will be probing for gaps.

FRANCO MACHO (5) was sent to the front last start at 2138 and after a steady opening half was unable to put them away. Runner-up his previous three in succession, he can feature.

A tricky contest made no easier by the middle trip which a few will struggle to see out. Never too far away in this grade, JUSTROLLINGAROUND (4) might just have found the right conditions to grab another. A winner at the mile three starts back when descending on them late, this appears in reach.

ARKUNA (11) is one runner that should have no issue at the distance and although just one of her nine career wins have been on this deck, importantly it was at this trip and just two starts back. Drawn gate 6 on that occasion and powering home over the top, similar tactics can produce the right effort here.

HES REGAL (9) is a last start Redcliffe winner after taking them all the way over 1780. With the chance to follow through from this gate, he is a podium player.

SPORTS BOUNTY (5) was chasing a hat-trick of wins at the middle trip here two runs back when fading after sitting parked at the mile. With the right trip, he can fill the minors.

SIGNOR JUJON (3) will be looking to show the early hustle to get across and from the front would be a hard runner to get past. Setting the tempo four runs back when grabbed late by LETS GO BAILEY, last start he was only beaten a neck at Redcliffe and can look to dictate here.

AMERICAN BOULEVARD (9) was forced to ease for position last time out and was too far back in a race dictated on a front runners tempo. Only 2m away at Marburg the start prior when making a wide run, with the right trip, she finds conditions to throw down a challenge.

MAJOR GENERALJUJON (8) eased early from gate 5 at Redcliffe last time before charging home over the top of them to score with 5m to spare. Likely tucked away, he will be probing.

THREE CORD RIFF (1) has the mapping favours from the inside gate. Settling in the 1x1 trail last start when 5m astern of IDEAL TIGER, he was runner-up from this gate two starts back.

SUGGESTED BET: Exotics 1-3-8-9

TILLY DUNNAGE (6) is the latest horse following the tried and tested formula of joining the Turpin stable out of the deep south of NZ. With a huge success rate, this 5YO mare arrives a one-win pacer, yet showed huge potential with a recent trial on this deck with a 54.2 closing half. Despite the gate, she looks capable.

KASH FUND (9) resumes from a spell following a mixed 2YO season that was terminated after finishing unplaced in the Triad consolation. Contesting the Gold Crown at Bathurst earlier in the season, his two preparatory trials have been sound, and he can look to mount a challenge.

BETTOR BE BODHI (5) was a Marburg winner two starts back when eased from outside the front line before finishing over the top to break maiden ranks. Only a head away last time, he has claims.

LEOTA (7) has been runner-up at his past two, the latest when starting in red figures and best of the chasing pack behind MISTER FREEMAN. Despite a wide gate, he is a place player.

It will be seven weeks between runs for IMA BOOTY SHAKER (7) which has faced the starter on three occasions since arriving in Qld. 3rd at her first appearance behind ALWAYSBJOY, she has won both subsequent runs, the latest with a 53.1 dictating mile. 2138 is the only query, if there even is one, with a several in the field facing the trip for the first time.

MISTER FREEMAN (2) has won two of his past three and will take his first look at the big deck under race conditions. Putting them away with a smart win in good time last start and posting a 16m margin, he can be close enough to the action to be thereabouts.

ZEEZEEZOOM (8) was forced to sit parked last start and was game to the wire as SWEET DIOR scored a strong win from the front. A winner in three of her five for the term, she has second line options to stake her claim.

DUKE OF ARGYLL (3) still has a bit to learn, but he showed that the ability is there with a last start victory from gate 1, running some smart closing panels. He is in the mix.

Mid-race tempo looks the only concern for VICTREE CHARLIE (7) overcoming the outside gate. Descending on them to score here two starts back, he drew this same marble last time and was trying to track into the contest when holding silver and 3m astern of the winner COOL DUDE JOEY. He can bounce back.

THREENTWO (5) rolled forward from gate 6 last start to sit parked and after the tough trip faded over the latter stages to miss the money. A winner here three starts back when faced with a similar trip, she might be rolling the sleeves again here to issue the challenge.

STONES (1) has the gate advantage and should secure the right trip. Trying to fend them off when lighting the lamps two starts back when under 3m from the winner MIARKA, he has claims.

BELMER BETTY (6) finished best from a second line gate to score last time at Redcliffe against similar opposition. The gate stings, but with the right trip she is a podium hope.

Looming strongly along the passing lane here last week, WHIRLWIND WILBUR (8) was just a pimple short of victory. If the gap opened sooner, the result may have been different and his run three back behind the flying NELLIE JOY was enough that he can capitalise here.

ILLUSORY FEAT (3) burrowed through from gate 1 to set the speed last time out and was trying to see them off when reeled in over the closing stages. Dictating from the front to score three runs back, she has the early speed to get across and throw it down.

FLASH KYVALLEY (5) was beaten by gate 7 last time when retreating early and then unable to get warm when finishing midfield. Grabbing the bronze from a 30m tape the start prior, he has claims.

CASCATA (2) struck trouble last start which ended her chances. A tough effort when just behind the money as IVANKA scored the start prior, she can do things wrong but can feature if putting it together.
