Verdict

FLYING CELICA (10) gets the nod after a sound fourth in a BM58 over 1600m at Sunshine Coast, beaten a length and a half by Kobability, and that reads well for this slightly easier BM55 assignment. Her 1400m record is not dominant, but she has placed at the distance, handles soft ground and brings the most reliable recent provincial form of the main hopes. IMAREALAMERICAN (16) was second in an Open at Tabulam, beaten a length after an early blunder, and his consistent 1400m placing record keeps him right in play. OAKFIELD MONTANA (14) bounced back sharply to win an FM BM58 at Ipswich, has won at this trip and keeps the same rider, so she has the right profile to hold that form on the quick back-up. KHARIF (5) finished fourth last start, beaten 6 lengths at Ipswich over 1666m. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race.

Verdict
Closed in on the right race when fourth in a BM58 at Sunshine Coast, beaten a length and a half by Kobability after sitting close and just failing to finish it off. The Warwick sixth in Class 3 grade was sound enough for this level, and her wet-track record is serviceable. Soft-ground record is sound and this looks her chance to break through.

Returns from a six-week freshening after finishing last in a BM70 at Toowoomba, beaten over 15 lengths after travelling midfield and dropping out. Rough place chance.

Verdict
Had genuine excuses at Ipswich when fourth in a BM58, held up near the 250m and hampered late before finishing just under seven lengths from The Torque Factor. His Sunshine Coast sixth in Class 1 company was closer, beaten two and a half lengths on soft ground. New trip is the query, but he has place claims.

Verdict
Bounced back to win an FM BM58 at Ipswich, beating Magic Moz by just over half a length after leading and fighting on strongly. That followed a forgive run at Gold Coast, where she was wide throughout and beaten over 10 lengths at huge odds. Looks a genuine threat again.

Verdict
Was held up from the 250m when fifth at this track, beaten two and a half lengths by Water Lad, so there was more merit in the run than the finish suggests. Two back he was beaten a long neck at Beaudesert after starting at big odds. Capable of running well, but the wide barrier makes it harder.

Verdict
Went close in an Open at Tabulam, finishing second and beaten a length by Millennium Prayer after blundering shortly after the start and racing keenly early. The Kilcoy BM60 run prior was plain over 1900m, but he has solid 1400m credentials with five placings from six distance starts. Right in the winning argument.

Verdict
Third-up now after two plain sixths, most recently last of six in a BM65 at Ipswich when leading and weakening to be beaten five and a half lengths. She also lacked the dash to make an impact in a BM58 at Grafton. Place claims only if she finds more late.

Verdict
Was slow away and raced wide from the 700m when tenth at Kilcoy, beaten nine lengths by Calvary after settling rearward. The previous Ipswich fifth in a CG BM58 was more competitive on soft ground, but this campaign has tapered. Track record helps, though a clear lift is required.

Arrives in consistent form after winning at Tara, beating Holler Dash by just under two lengths with some market support. He was also close in a BM50 at St George, beaten just under a length despite laying in. Harder company now, but a placing is within reach.

Verdict
Resumed with a seventh at this track, beaten just over seven lengths by Water Lad after settling back and making no late impression. Her final run before the break was also plain in a BM65 at Gold Coast, where she was big odds and failed to finish off. Prior track win helps, but recent form is well short of the main chances.
