Verdict

PEACH GALANTES (16) has not won at around 1100m but brings reliable wet-track figures, a light weight, a good record with Bailie Baker and enough recent-rating substance to be a major threat. RALOS STAR (6) was beaten just under a length in BM58 grade at Sunshine Coast after being slow to begin, and Mark Du Plessis returning is a useful pointer. ROCKY BLONDE (7) won narrowly last time and is holding form well, though she has to prove she can reproduce that win on softer ground. OH PRETTY EMMA (9) is back from an eight-month spell with a Deagon trial behind her. Can threaten fresh. Include in all combinations.

Verdict
Returns from a five-month break after ending last campaign with a poor sixth in a BM60 at this track, beaten over 19 lengths as favourite after sitting handy and weakening badly. The start prior in a BM65 at Ipswich was also safely held, though he has since had two trials and owns a win from two starts at this venue. In the mix fresh.

Verdict
Closed to fourth in a BM58 at Sunshine Coast last start, beaten just under a length by Sapana's Pearl after being slow to begin and sitting closer than ideal early. His previous BM58 effort over 1400m was also respectable, beaten three lengths on soft ground. Strong enough to take this with clean manners.

Verdict
Returns from an eight-month break after finishing second in an Open at Warwick, beaten half a length on soft ground after being slow away and just missing. She had earlier made ground for fifth at this venue, and a recent Deagon trial gives her some fitness support. Last seen narrowly beaten in Open grade, so she has fresh claims.

Verdict
Fought hard to win at this track last start, holding Qickwit by a head after beginning well and leading narrowly throughout. That followed a close third in a BM58 at Dalby when beaten just over half a length at generous odds, so her form is holding together well. Soft-ground record is mixed, but she has clear place claims again.

Verdict
Comes into this off a Beaudesert sixth, beaten just under four lengths after beginning awkwardly and failing to finish off over 1400m. Her previous Toowoomba run was also only fair, but the set-up improves with a light weight, Bailie Baker's claim and a wet-track record that reads one win and five placings from seven starts. Recent runs were fair, but the set-up suits.

Verdict
Resumed with a second-last finish in a Class 1 at Doomben, beaten just under ten lengths at long odds after travelling handy and offering little. His previous run at this track before a break was far better, beaten a length and a half after racing prominently, but his distance record shows no wins or placings from six tries. Hard to recommend.

Verdict
Was beaten six lengths in a Class 2 at Ipswich last week after sitting just off the speed and failing to finish off. Her Toowoomba fourth prior was better, beaten two and a half lengths, but she was still overrun after leading into the straight. Has distance placings, but the finishing effort has to be stronger.

Verdict
Hit the line well for fourth at this track last start, beaten just under a length by Rocky Blonde after beginning slowly and settling well back. Her Toowoomba fifth before that in Class 2 grade was similar, with slow beginnings costing her position before she worked home. Place chance.

Verdict
Was last in a CG Class 1 at Toowoomba last start, beaten over 13 lengths at long odds, although racing wide throughout adds some context. His Doomben run prior in Class 2 grade was no better, finishing last and beaten over 14 lengths after leading. Has to lift sharply on recent form.

Verdict
Won a small-field Class B at Tara last start, beating Summer Ready by just over half a length on a fast track. The issue is the form around it: she was second last at Beaudesert two runs back and unwanted in betting after giving little in the run home. Improvement has to hold.

Verdict
Finished fifth at Gympie last start, beaten over 11 lengths at picnic level, and hung out on the home turn. Her Toowoomba run prior in Class 2 grade was also well held, finishing last after racing wide. Fitter and can improve.
