Verdict

OSCAR (2) resumes off a solid second in a Doomben trial and his debut fourth at Doomben, beaten just over half a length, reads well for this Maiden despite the long break. BEAR OIL (1) also resumes with upside after showing early speed in both runs last campaign, and the 3kg claim gives him a practical edge if he returns forward enough. WHISKEY AND WINE (4) has placed four times from five starts and has already filled the placings at around 1100m, so he is a reliable danger if sharp enough fresh. LOVE AND PAIN (8) has four placings from four runs in the past 12 months and a wet-track placing already on the board. The six-day turnaround and return to 1100m are the qualifications, but she has been holding her form stays in the mix.

Verdict
Resumes from an eight-month spell after finishing seventh as favourite at Sunshine Coast, where he raced wide, laid out and was beaten four and a half lengths. His debut fourth at Doomben was much better, beaten just over half a length after striking some trouble. Debut fourth was close and he has enough upside to be a major player.

Verdict
Resumes from an eight-month spell after ending last campaign with a third at Beaudesert, beaten four and a half lengths as a well-supported favourite. She had also placed at Warwick two back after covering ground, and a comfortable Beaudesert trial win helps her readiness. Honest place record, but she has to turn those placings into a stronger finish.

Verdict
Returns from a three-month break after a consistent winter campaign, most recently third at Moree when beaten just over two lengths. He had earlier run second at Toowoomba and has placed at both previous tries around 1100m. Wide draw is the query, but he profiles as a sound place hope.

Verdict
Comes in race fit after consecutive seconds, the latest at Warwick when well-supported favourite and beaten a length and a half by Gancedo. She had been pipped at Toowoomba the run prior after leading, so the recent form is honest. Still winless, but her 1100m record keeps her right in the place mix.

Verdict
Returns from a six-month break after ending last campaign with a fifth at Warwick, where he jumped awkwardly, led into the straight and tired late to be beaten just under four lengths. His debut fourth at Ipswich on soft ground also showed early speed, and a Sunshine Coast Inner Track trial third gives him a base for this. Trialled third and gets a 3kg claim, so he can return strongly.

Verdict
Has been unplaced in two runs this campaign, most recently sixth at Gold Coast when beaten five and a half lengths after settling back and only keeping on. She was also safely held at Scone first-up, but gets weight relief and should be fitter third-up. More a rough each-way hope than a clear threat.

Verdict
Returns from a three-month break after a fifth at Moe on heavy ground, beaten six and a half lengths at big odds. His prior Cranbourne fifth was similar enough, and blinkers come off for his first run in this state. Has placed around 1100m, but recent form keeps him in the minor-money bracket.

Verdict
Has been the most dependable runner in the race, placing at all four runs in the past 12 months and again finishing third at Warwick six days ago. The rise to 1100m asks a question after one unplaced try around this trip, but she has placed twice from two rides with Brandon Lerena and handles soft ground. The 1100m is a query, but her consistency makes her the one to beat.

Verdict
Had genuine excuses at this track last start, being bumped early and racing wide before finishing fifth, beaten just under three lengths. She had also covered ground at Warwick two back when only beaten a length and a half. Inside draw helps, but her 29-start maiden record tempers confidence.
