Irama presents as the standout selection dropping significantly in class from Open company to Class 2. His soft track record of 1 win from 4 starts suits today's Soft 5 conditions perfectly. Despite carrying top weight and being first-up in 49 days, the class drop and track conditions strongly favor this runner.
Amenophis brings strong recent form with three placings from his last four starts and crucial experience at this track and distance where he finished second. The 6-year-old gelding is dropping in class and while he hasn't won on soft tracks, his two seconds from four soft track starts shows he handles the conditions. His consistent form trend and fitness edge make him a strong each-way proposition.
Flying Celica is well-placed second up from a spell after a solid third at Warwick first up. The mare is dropping in class and benefits from the light weight of 53.5kg with Cobi Vitler's 2kg claim.
The 4-year-old mare has an outstanding soft track record of 2 wins from 6 starts, perfect for today's conditions.

Shedrivesabentley presents as the most logical winner despite her winless record. The advantageous barrier 6 draw and light 55kg weight provide additional advantages on this tight turning circuit.
Trusty Bandit brings strong recent form with a close second at Dalby and benefits from a significant class drop. The addition of winkers for the first time could provide the edge needed for his maiden victory. However, the inside barrier draw is concerning at Toowoomba where leaders dominate, and his winless record remains a negative despite consistent placing efforts.
His improving form trend and good early speed suit Toowoomba's characteristics, though the inside barrier draw and winless record present concerns. The step up to 1625m is untested but his breeding suggests it should suit.
The significant class drop and good barrier draw make her a worthwhile value play, though her 40-start winless streak remains the major concern.
