RACE 1 - Looks an open race to kick off the card. The penny has dropped for SUPER DAISY (10) this time in stringing four wins together on the bounce. Is one from one over this track and trip and gets in well at the weights with the 3kg claim. No reason why she can't add to the picket fence. SPIRITUALISED (2) is back from a lengthy spell but has a handy fresh record with a win and two placings from four attempts. Revved for this with a recent trial and trust that the Gollan barn has him ready to show something. FIND YOUR OWN (4) has won three of his past five including one over this course and distance. Top-three contender. PAYLINE (7) loves this sprint trip with two wins and two seconds from just four starts. Cannot be discounted. BIOGRAPHER (3) strips fitter second-up from the spell and may earn some minor money.

RACE 2 - BAK DA MAN (2) has hit a purple patch of form putting back-to-back victories together and has drawn to get a soft run from gate two. Is yet to miss a drum in three runs around this circuit and can go right on with the job now. BEDFORD SQUARE (6) has a win and a placing from two runs over this course and distance and will be rock-hard fit for this staying test. Nicely placed to feature in the finish. SOUTHERN STOCK (3) wasn't disgraced in Listed company at the latest effort and will find this assignment much easier. Don't disregard. COUP DE TONNERRE (4) goes well for Collis who has two wins from just three steers and again gets the benefit of his claim. One for the exotics players. INTUITU (9) is one from one over this track and trip and may trouble the judge with any luck in running.

RACE 3 - BULLION BOY (4) has been right there in both starts this preparation and is drawn to get all the favours from the inside alley. Has to be considered. DAMO DAYZ (11) returned in winning order here when first-up and gets a sizable weight drop on that victory. Top-three commodity. JEALOUS (19) has placed over this track and trip and strips fitter third-up from the spell. Respect from the Heathcote camp. LUDOVISI (15) best of the rest.

RACE 4 - There are a couple of well-related gallopers amongst this lot. JUNIPAL (1) (half to 2xG1 winner Palentino) got a confidence-building win at Doomben at the latest effort and winning hoop Maloney sticks in the stirrups. Should get a cosy run in transit from the inside marble and will be hitting the line with gusto. HYDE (6) got a well-deserved victory over this track and trip last time out and gets a decent weight drop here. Looks a genuine top-three conveyance. MENAZZI (8) has remarkably ran six consecutive thirds this preparation and is racing very consistently. A must for the multiples. TIDAL CREEK (3) (half to G1 winner Vega One and G2 winner One More Honey) was a touch disappointing last start but the form prior was good enough to feature in this. Worth another chance. LINTHORPE LAD (4) rounds out the selections.

RACE 5 - You'd love to own a stable full of horses like TALK TIME (8) who is yet to miss the top-five in 13 career outings and hasn't put in a poor one. Absolutely dominant at Toowoomba last time out and goes well for Mallyon who has two wins and two placings from just five rides. Should be right there at the business end. The speedy KRONENBOURG (3) gets Maloney on from the inside marble and will give backers a sight. IVERSON (6) is one from one over this track and trip and should be near his peak now fourth-up from the spell. Top-three credentials. THESECONDATPORTSEA (10) gets in well at the weights with the claim and may earn a cheque.

RACE 6 - TORABELLA (8) hails from a handy family (half to 5xG1 winner Shoot Out) and wasn't disgraced at Listed level here before the spell. Revved up for this with a recent Deagon trial and winning rider Jones reunites. Can return in fine fashion. CAPITAL CHASE (5) has placed two from three around this circuit and is usually thereabouts. Strips fitter third-up and drops sharply in weight. Can make his presence felt. END ASSEMBLY (1) draws the inside alley and gets 3kg off with the claim. Top-three conveyance. EXCEED SPEED (2) resumes here but the form he showed before the spell was good enough to feature in a race like this. Keep safe while fresh. MILTON ROAD (11) is a bit hit or miss but may play a role if he brings his A-game.

RACE 7 - BUBBA'S BAY (1) is a very honest campaigner whose only recent failure came in a much harder Rosehill contest two back. Has won three from four over this course and distance and gets 3kg weight relief with the claim. Cannot be ignored. EXOTIQUE MISS (7) saves her best form for this circuit and will strip fitter second-up from the spell. In the mix. MANHOOD (3) got the job done here at the latest effort and must be respected from the Neasham/Archibald camp. Worth serious thought.

RACE 8 - GIN A TONIC (1) wasn't too far away at Doomben last time out and should be ready to peak now third-up from the spell. Is one from one around this circuit, draws the inside alley and gets 2kg weight relief with the claim. Ticks plenty of boxes. ESTRONDO (3) has been thereabouts in all four runs this preparation and looks to be nearing another victory. Gets Orman on board to navigate from the outside draw and looms as the main danger. BOLLINGER MISS (6) has a win and a second from just two starts this time in work and looks a galloper with some upside. Top-three candidate. PROMINENT LAD (4) got the maiden win out of the way at the latest effort and winning hoop Callow sticks. Will have derived some confidence from that victory and is worth consideration. ALPHA BRAVO (2) best of the rest in a race with only a handful of chances.

RACE 9 - Looks a race with plenty of chances. DEMON DARB (3) has hit the top five at his past seven outings and is one from one over this track and trip. Will be rock-hard fit for this and should appreciate the extra furlong. Rates a genuine threat. PORKY (5) has gotten better with each run this campaign and gets some weight off with the 2kg claim. Ready to show his best now. NAVAL SEAL (6) has been plying his trade in NSW and Waller has had some success when he transfers his horses to his QLD stable. Respect any market confidence. MY PINS (1) next in line.

RACE 10 - CARTWHEELS (16) is building up an impressive record with two wins and three seconds from five starts to date and is yet to put in a poor one. Tuned up for this with a recent Deagon trial and gets Mallyon on board from the soft draw. Looks the runner in this field with the most upside. FLYING AURELIUS (24) has gone two from two to start the career and can continue the picket fence. DRAMMATICA (11) has performed well so far this campaign while ZAKIYYA (10) has improved with each run this campaign, last start winning at Eagle Farm. Both possess genuine each way appeal.
