Last start resumed off longer 224-day spell BM78 S5 track 59kg drew outside sat back last 11L off leader on a fast tempo.

R4 n1 MORNINGTON GLORY Map suits behind lead group this tempo. Resumes off 287-day spell. Led and won slow trial very easily when eased right down late.

R5 n7 STOLI BOLLI Back near last on map. Resumes off 217-day spell and two trials. Won most recent 800m Flemington July 25 and looked strong there on speed. Proven this track at 1200m and has a real class edge on these horses with B Shinn to offset a potential tricky map back in the field at 1000m. He trialed great and is just better than BM78 class horses.

R7 n5 SAYEDATY SADATY Positive early from draw to be on speed. 5t up off 21 days rises 1.5kg and stays at 2040m. Last start when 4th up Flemington sat in 1/1 position early on an even tempo and never looked like losing from there winning by 0.8L when well backed.

Toowoomba Meeting Selections

R1 n1 SHAKE’N’BAKE Went from strength to strength last preparation winning two races at this track including his maiden by 6.8 lengths. He did enough 1st up in an unsuitable race and the step up to this trip looks ideal. Drawn to roll forward and race handy and will be hard to beat from there.

R2 n7 ADDICTIVE PIRANHA Has returned a much better horse this time in. She was good against the bias two back when 2nd at this track and trip then won impressively in a stronger race than this over the 870m. Steps back up to the 1000m which suits and can win again.

R4 n7 RED TOFFEE Has been racing well this campaign without luck from bad barriers including last start when a complete forgive after being trapped wide on a leader/inside bias track. Finally draws a good gate and in what looks a very thin race, can sit on speed and should be too good from there.

He toughed it out in straight from there running 2nd to Yet He Moves beaten 0.3L. That race rated best of meeting and favoured run on horses so and his effort was excellent. Better suited on dryer track and map/tempo suits today.

R3 n8 VINDICTA Map suits forward behind the lead group off inside. 2’a up off 20 days drops 4kg and stays at 1000m.

He unleashed in straight winning by 3.8L- very impressively. Closing sectionals were outstanding with 4th fastest L400m of meeting. Lightly raced gets a great map and heavy track no issue for him. Better than these horses and should be winning.

BEST BETS

R6 n10 BECAMO Forward early inside behind lead group. Deeper into prep off 14 days drops 1kg and looks suited out to 2200m (+200m). Last start BM78 Doomben G4 when deeper into prep sat back 8th inside 6L off leader/winner on an even tempo and was then held up on turn locked away with nowhere to go until the 150m but charged late for 3rd beaten 0.9L by Zoology. Unlucky not to win there. Not a regular winner (4/21) but looks well suited now out to this distance off a very good map and proven on wet tracks.

R8 n1 METALART Midfield and outside on map. 5th up off 28 days rises 5.5kg and stays at 1200m. Last start Group 3 Eagle Farm sat back 8th inside on an even tempo 6L of leader. Did a great job from there running them all down late to win by 0.8L. Race rated highly, and he had a huge L600m closing figure. Loves Doomben proven on soft and can’t be racing any better. Looks better than these and should be winning.

R9 n2 SAVOUR THE DREAM Midfield on map. Resumes off 126-day spell and two rock solid trials. Won most recent 1200m Deagon July 8 under zero pressure late. Lightly raced and talented colt with good fresh stats and resuming at 1350m is a real sign of intent by stable. Loves Doomben and proven on Soft and might just be too good for these. Market closer to race will be key indicator but he is a well above average horse.

Last start at Sunshine Coast drew very wide sat back 8th 6L off leader and was very wide there running home strongly late for 3rª beaten O.3L by Overfull.

He had a completely dominant meeting best L400m figure from there- he looked super impressive. He did the exact same winning maiden at Swan Hill start prior. Winkers went on last two runs out to 1600m on S7 tracks and looks ready to come to City class today on the big track. Really promising young stayer.

R7 n14 MUKTAMIL Positive early to be behind lead group. Deeper into prep off 28 days and looks suited out to 2800m (+260m). Last start Open Flemington sat back off MF early 8L off leader on a fast tempo and charged late to almost win running 2d beaten 0.5L by Bold Soul.

There is no Antino in this field and he destroyed a similar field in this race last year. Out to 2200m in the small field-he should round this lot up in the straight and win.
