BEST BETS
R3 n 7 BELLA MONTAGNA
Forward inside behind the leaders. 4t up off 14 days drops 1kg out to 3200m (+800m).
Last start Group 3 EFarm sat back 7th outside 7L off on a fast tempo and clear run home when strong late for 2nd to Alacance beaten 0.3L. Was heavily backed late and had a race dominant L400m figure which should suit out to 3200m. Proven on wet and gets 3kg weight swing on Alacance. Clear top pick.
R4 n 10 WITHIN THE LAW
Maps closer behind the lead group from soft draw. 2nd up off 14 days out to 1600m (+200m). Resumed off 147 days 3YO Group 3 drew wider in big field sat back 11L off on an even tempo. She had no chance of winning from back there but charged home late with dominant L400m figure beaten 1.8L by Regal Award. Very well placed this class out to 1600m with 55kg and no issue on the Heavy track
R7 n 4 TRON BOLT
Forward behind lead group. 4th race start off 14 days rises 1kg and looks suited out to 1600m (+300m). Last start 2YO Rosehill H9 track drew wider in smaller field sat well back 7L on a slow tempo and had huge L400m figure from there winning easily by 1.9L.
Was completely dominant winning there and will launch late out to 1600m today. Will be too classy for these horses.
R9 n 1 HALF YOURS
Maps 4P back outside and suited late from there this tempo. 4th up off 21 days out to 2200m (+200m). Last start Group 1 Doomben G4 track had to get rolling from the
1200m to stay in touch with POJ but was still 16L off her at the 1000m. Did a good job off that to be beaten 4.2L by Birdman. Will be ridden more patiently today and finally gets out past 2000m on a soft track. Keen he wins.

R2 n 1 SMASHING TIME
Forward early on speed. 3rd up off 35 days drops 1kg and stays at 1200m. Last start BM72 Gosford with blinkers first time drew outside crossed quickly to lead on an even tempo.
Just kept running there winning by 0.8L breaking the course record. Hasn’t been a regular winner (4/20) but stable have finally working him out with blinkers back on last start and spacing his runs. Gets a claim here and is not a hard horse to ride out in front. Very hard to run down late off that.
R5 n 6 SURF’S UP
Maps 3P back inside. 4* up off 21 days and stays at 1400m. Last start FM BM78 Randwick on S7 track-it was messy by that race. Was off 38 days drew outside was taken back early 10L off on a fast tempo. Clear run home late out wider when 3° to Declichy Boulevard (good since) beaten 0.9L. Totally unsuited there but still ran very well. Back to BM72 class on dryer track with claim off a much better map. Perfect set up.
R8 n 7 THEBUDGIESMUGGLER
Forward on speed. 5t up off 14 days drops 1kg and out to 2400m (+400m). Last start was on 7 day back up Listed Rosehill drew outside in big field dropping back to 2000m-clearly unsuited by that and then crossed quickly to sit 2nd OSL on a very fast tempo when 6″ to Portland beaten 3.3L. Didn’t have much in his favour there and is so much better suited back out to 2400m off a moderate tempo. Keen he wins.

R4 n 2 CLEVOR TREVER
Forward early on speed. 3’d up off 14 days rises 2.5kg stays at 1400m. Last start 3YO Caulfield H8 track drew outside went forward 2L off on a slow tempo and was then shuffled back coming to turn. Got clear wider in straight and unleashed with 4th fastest L200m of meeting winning by 0.8L. Very impressive win and gets preferred rider back on today. Talented 3YO in great stable and keen he wins again.
R7 n 5 SIMURGH
Forward early behind the lead group. 4th up off 14 days rises 3kg out to 2400m (+400m). Last start BM84 Caulfield sat 4th in great spot and got out to right part of track in straight winning by O.3L. He had a perfect run and ride there but did close off with 7th fastest L200m of meeting and won softly on the line. Proven on heavy and 2400m will suit. Good quality horse for a BM84.

R1 n 4 BASSETT HOUND
3rd up off 14 days rises 2kg and suited out to 1200m (+200m). Last start 1MW Belmont S6 track sat back last 5L off on an even tempo. Held up in straight before exploding late winning impressively by 1.2L. He had meeting fastest L600m figure and looks well suited out to 1200 off that. Emerging 3YO sprinter and will charge late off this tempo and keen he wins again.
R8 n 4 OPPORTUNISTIC
3rd up off 14 days rises 3kg and suited out to 1650m (+250m). Last start was slow away sat well back 9L off on a slow tempo (unsuited). Got out wider in straight and charged late for 4th beaten 1.7L. He looks to be back to his best form now-and his best form was Group class. He gets W Pike back on replacing the apprentice, the blinkers come off which should see him start better and he should be too strong late for this field.

R5 n9 PINK VIXEN
Comes back to Toowoomba where she races best and the mile looks an ideal trip for her at this stage of her prep. Gets in extremely well at the weights and just needs a decent ride to be winning.
