Prize Money: $30,000

FAIR SHAKE (8) resumes a gelding and has been tuned with a Doomben trial win. He was respected in betting when fifth at Ipswich before the break, and his debut in the Listed Phelan Ready Plate gives him race experience out of stronger juvenile company. INZAIN DRAGON (4) is a Zousain gelding on debut that has come along nicely at the trials and looks set for a bright start. This inside pillar should see him handy and be right there when they sprint. NATION (9) has been freshened since a fair fifth at the Sunshine Coast and has the benefit of two trials since. Expected to be competitive. SYMO'S BOY (3) resumes a gelding after a long absence and was costly as favourite at both runs late last campaign, but he has placed at this venue and has enough ability to be competitive if ready. BODMIN MOOR (6) was plain first-up at Doomben but has plenty of scope for improvement with that run now out of the way.

Comments

Returns from a lengthy spell after ending last campaign with two fourths when sent out odds-on favourite. His final run before the break was at Murwillumbah, where he settled back and was only fair late behind Hostile La Vista, while the Lismore run prior had some merit after he was forced wide near the 200m. Can entertain.

Debuts with a solid trial base, having won a recent 1000m Doomben trial after a string of earlier placings at the trials. He was also a $70,000 Gold Coast yearling purchase and draws kindly in barrier two for Ryan Wiggins. Drawn well and looks prepared enough to hold genuine place claims.

Comments

Starts his career from a leading Tony Gollan stable and the pedigree has some speed, with Romantic Novelist placed in the G3 Arrowfield Breeders' Plate. The trial evidence is more measured, finishing fourth and then sixth at Doomben, and there is no race form to lean on yet. Has to show more on race day.

Comments

Second-up after an eighth at Doomben in mid-week company, where he began awkwardly, settled back and kept on without threatening behind Watchman. The move to an easier assignment helps, and his previous Doomben fourth behind Hidden Whisper was better than it looks after he raced wide throughout and was beaten just over a length. First try around 1000m, but improvement puts him in the placings.

Comments

Resumed with a sound second at Sunshine Coast on soft ground, covering ground from the back and still working home to be beaten three lengths by Pierantes. That was a sharp turnaround from his Listed Phelan Ready Plate run before the break, when he led and weakened badly at big odds. Apprentice claim helps, but he still looks a fringe each-way hope.

Comments

Returns from a six-month break with a Doomben trial win behind him, which is a positive sign for a lightly raced gelding from the Kelly Schweida yard. He was fifth at Ipswich before the spell when near the top of betting, and his debut came in the Listed Phelan Ready Plate at Doomben, a stronger form reference than most bring here. New to 1000m, but this looks his chance to break through.

Comments

Back after three months on the sidelines following a fifth at Sunshine Coast, where he was among the outsiders and did not quicken after working into the race. He had raced greenly when favourite on debut over 1200m, so there is clearly more education to come, and the two trials since, including a close Beaudesert second, point to improvement. Drawn to improve sharply.
