RACE ONE

KYVALLEY FINN (7)
has been hitting good areas since joining the in-form Jonah Hutchinson yard, landing on the board in four of five this term, including a win three starts back. Overcoming the 10m tape to arrive in good style, he was strong to the line last start and can stake a claim.

TRIAGE (9) has put it all together in recent starts which have seen him win two of his past four. Stepping safely and swiftly here last week to find the front, he was able to see them off with a narrow victory. If he can negotiate the traffic, he can throw it down again.

INSTANT DELIGHT (10) returns off a freshen following her last start 2nd when sitting parked back in December. Should take benefit on whatever is achieved here.

VOLTAIN (3) started off the front tape last start where she was able to secure an economical trip against the poles. Runner-up in both prior runs, she can be thereabouts again here.

SELECTIONS: KYVALLEY FINN (7), TRIAGE (9), INSTANT DELIGHT (10), VOLTAIN (3)
SUGGESTED BET: KYVALLEY FINN (7) to win

RACE TWO

In super form since joining the Grimsey stable, GOLDEN SUNSET (5) ran strong time out in front last start for an impressive victory. That made it three wins from her past five, finishing runner-up in the other two beaten a half-neck in each behind HIDE AND SEEK and NOT AS PROMISED.

CALL ME TROUBLE (7) was off the 20m here last start and was making late metres in grabbing 2nd behind the dictating GLOBAL FLIGHT. A big winner from the 30m tape three starts back, he has struggled to convert opportunities from the mobile but can look to change that here.

THEBESTBOURBON (3) tackled FFA grade last start where she was sent to the front but wilted over the closing stages. With early hustle and back to the midweeks- she can feature.

ITSALLANDOVER (1) placed twice last week when running on late in each appearance. This is tougher grade, but a soft trip behind the speed will help.

SELECTIONS: GOLDEN SUNSET (5), CALL ME TROUBLE (7), THEBESTBOURBON (3), ITSALLANDOVER (1)
SUGGESTED BET: GOLDEN SUNSET (5) to win

RACE THREE

Tackling the 2138 last start, JUSTROLLINGAROUND (2) was sent forward to sit parked and despite the tough trip, she was strong to the line in finishing under 5m from the winner. With the chance to be handy a return to the mile, this looks a race within reach.

MACS A DUDE (4) was beaten by the gate over the middle trip last start when angled to the fence to chase the short cuts. Pressing to the front from gate 5 over this trip two starts back when midfield and finishing 5m away, he can get forward to challenge.

JIMMY BLING (7) was a Redcliffe winner three starts back and has placed in both runs since, the latest of those here when stoking up early from a wide gate. He can feature despite the gate.

PARTY CHANGER (10) was snagged off the arm last start and from back in the pack was never a factor. Following through early for position can see him chime in here.

SELECTIONS: JUSTROLLINGAROUND (2), MACS A DUDE (4), JIMMY BLING (7), PARTY CHANGER (10)
SUGGESTED BET: JUSTROLLINGAROUND (2) to win

RACE FOUR

Overcoming the outside second line here two starts back, CHECKNOUTTHETALENT (5) was sent out as the fav here last start from inside the second line. Strung up behind a tiring leader and needing space, he attacked the line after a luckless trip for 3rd. He can bounce back.

MIDNIGHT CALM (1) secured the perfect trip behind the speed last time out and when hitting space was able to arrive for a narrow victory. This looks a slightly tougher assignment but with the chance to replicate the trip, he can look to replicate the result.

WHATA ROLLER (4) was sectionally impressive last start when attacking the line strongly over the latter stages from wide off the track. Look for him rallying late.

BETTOR ROMANCE (2) was runner-up here two starts back when darting through on the passing lane. Under 4m from the winner last start, an inside trip will boost her chances.

SELECTIONS: CHECKNOUTTHETALENT (5), MIDNIGHT CALM (1), WHATA ROLLER (4), BETTOR ROMANCE (2)
SUGGESTED BET: CHECKNOUTTHETALENT (5) to win

RACE FIVE

SMARTER THAN YOU (7) is only lightly raced and steps out here fresh after his last appearance back in December. Runner-up to OUR INDIFFERENCE in that outing, that winner and the next three over the line are all subsequent winners. Despite the gate, he can take the next step.

GREAT ACHIEVER (6) has been to the trials in readiness for the first start of his 3YO term following a two-win term as a 2YO. That included a last start victory in impressive style when working in the run. He can look to issue the challenge in a tricky contest.

BLUE BLOODZ (10) overcame the middle trip last start when working home strongly wide off the track to grab the W. The gate makes it no easier this time.

JAY TEE TYRON (1) burrowed through from this same gate last start to keep them wide and claim victory over the 2138. At risk of being snookered this time, he can be thereabouts.

SELECTIONS: SMARTER THAN YOU (7), GREAT ACHIEVER (6), BLUE BLOODZ (10), JAY TEE TYRON (1)

RACE SIX

First up for the new stable last start when set a task, MY ULTIMATE COBBER (1) faded in the latter stages to finish at the rear. Taking them all the way at Wagga two starts back, he will be better served off the ace here and with all the options can look to capitalise.

INDI AIR TONIGHT (11) was sent around them in the early stages when the speed slackened last week and was able to pinch the front and the race. Overcoming a wide front-line gate over this trip three back to score, she can throw it down again here.

LENNY LINCOLN (10) was sent to the front last time out where he was trying to fend them off. Gripping on for the silver behind the smart BIRKIRKARA, he can be chiming in here.

BADLANDER (3) closed out his 3YO season with three wins in his last four starts highlighted by a starchy performance when parked from the second line and out lasting them at his last start. Might just need the run.

SELECTIONS: MY ULTIMATE COBBER (1), INDI AIR TONIGHT (11), LENNY LINCOLN (10), BADLANDER (3)
SUGGESTED BET: MY ULTIMATE COBBER (1) to win

RACE SEVEN

Super impressive in two starts since arriving in Qld, JAMAICAN ROCK (7) can look to defy the carpark gate in this line up. Big and bold in front when first up, he was brave after setting all the speed last start when a beaten odds-on chance. He can power up here.

SHEER ARTISTRY (6) was last seen back in September when runner-up to the talented ELLIS STREET. Her previous two starts were placings behind the smart ATTACHMENT and THE JANITOR and with an easy time in a recent preparatory trial, can look to challenge fresh.

MY ULTIMATE VICTOR (1) snares the options from this gate following his last start dictating win at Redcliffe. The gate aids his chances.

SHARDS MATRIX (4) resumes for his 4YO term after arriving from NZ midway through his 3YO term. Not much was in his favour and with a tidy trial to prepare, stays under notice.

SELECTIONS: JAMAICAN ROCK (7), SHEER ARTISTRY (6), MY ULTIMATE VICTOR (1), SHARDS MATRIX (4)
SUGGESTED BET: JAMAICAN ROCK (7) to win

RACE EIGHT

Resuming in this grade with an impressive victory, ROYAL SPEECH (9) found the outside front line a hurdle too high last start when under 2m from the winner. With the chance to follow through for running line position in the early stages, he can look to capitalise.

TARGARYEN (6) returns from a well-deserved spell after closing a long campaign with a run of consistency. Runner-up when just a half-neck from HIRANYA at his last outing, he has tuned up with a tidy trial and in this grade can throw it down fresh.

CAPTAIN NEMO (1) has been runner-up at his past two starts from fence trips, last week when snaring a slice of luck to dart through from the second line to lead and then beaten a neck. The gate puts him right in the fight.

JAYJAYBENNY (3) produced a gritty effort first up for the new stable when sitting parked, putting the leader away at the 400 and then fighting hard to the wire. He can feature again here.
