HE DA BOSS was narrowly beaten as a favourite last start at Dalby and winkers come off for the first time, will take the power of beating. MIGHTY RUSSIAN first start and a Leo Roche trained horse, still in this. VERY DEMURE faded to finish two lengths off the winner last start at Dalby when resuming and a Neville O'toole trained horse, could upset. AEROPOWER came on to finish midfield at only start at Ipswich and steps down to company at a non-metro level, could threaten.

SIKKA on debut and must respect a Tony Gollan trained horse, has solid claims. KIRKSVILLE resumes after a nine week spell and placed at trial since last race 68 days ago, hard to hold out. SWEET ARMANI let-up and trial placing in 48 days since last race adds confidence, dangerous. TUESDAY has two placings from three runs this prep and finished in the middle of the pack last start at Toowoomba, the real danger in the race.

SHAMOUTI first-up after 41 week spell and finished sixth last start at Murwillumbah on a soft track, commands respect. BOMBUS first-up after 10 week spell and comes back to race in non-metro, still in this. STRAZ DANZ on a six day back-up and blinkers come off for the first time, sneaky chance. SIBERIAN resumes from a long 70 week spell and blinkers come off for the first time, could upset.

ELLES MY NAME looks down to non-metro grade and should run fitter for past attempts, a winning chance. CROKER finished in the middle of the pack last start at Gold Coast when first up and looks down to non-metro grade, sneaky chance. MUM ON RUM first starter and a James Hepworth trained horse, looks threatening. TURF GAZETTE placed once this prep at Toowoomba and finished in the middle of the pack last start at Toowoomba, not without each-way claims.

WORTHY last start winner to break maiden at Ipswich when first up and will have a soft run from inside gate, tough to beat. BAD FOREST has the speed to overcome an unfavourable draw and has three placings from five runs this prep, sneaky chance. I AM A WINNER in strong form with three wins from 12 attempts this campaign and expect to lead/box seat having drawn the rails, the real danger in the race. RAIDERLICIOUS has the speed to overcome drawing the widest barrier, in with a chance.

LUCKY LASS amongst the placegetters last start running third at Toowoomba and gets the blinkers on for the first time, commands respect. APOLLO TEN let-up and has very strong form at Gatton, in with a chance. ELECTRIC ARROW comes back to race in non-metro and from a strong camp, looks threatening. TSUKINO back after 15 week break and won last start at Gatton, cannot be ruled out.

GROOVE JET from a strong camp, a winning chance. SMACKEROONY racing back at non-metro class and from a strong camp, cannot be ruled out. RUSSIAN RIPPER first-up after 23 week break and trial win in the 167 days since last race adds confidence, could threaten. PEACH GALANTES won once this prep at Toowoomba 14 runs back and ran sixth last start at Ipswich, dangerous.

ARIAT in strong form with three wins from 11 attempts this campaign and has very strong form at Gatton, among the main chances. VICTORY COMMAND looks down to non-metro grade and a Jesse Townsend trained horse, can figure. KORUTO goes well at Gatton and from a good stable, should be thereabouts. SUPRENDRE decent form last prep with three wins from 14 runs but ran six lengths back from the winner last start at Sunshine Coast on a soft track when first up and a Phil Bobic trained horse, looks threatening.

MAPLE DOOR placed last start at long odds at Ipswich and won once this prep at Sunshine Coast six runs back, genuine contender. OUR ORATOR did nothing to threaten last start at Sunshine Coast and up in journey, could threaten. TRACK AND FIELD did nothing to threaten last start at Ipswich, quinella.
