7Aeropower

Our price $2.50 · SP $2.05 · Brandon Lerena

Brandon Lerena's booking adds confidence despite his recent form drought. Barrier 6 allows tactical options in what shapes as a fast tempo.

2nd pick7th
8Thrill Seeker

Our price $6.00 · SP $5.00 · Micheal Hellyer

Five-year-old mare showing signs of improvement with a recent second placing at Gatton. Her form has been consistent without being spectacular, but the addition of first-time winkers suggests connections believe she can find extra. Barrier 4 gives her tactical options, though jockey Hellyer's recent form is concerning.

3rd pickScratched
9Torque Too Easy

Our price $3.50

Maurice filly who showed promise with a close second on the synthetic track at Sunshine Coast. The drop back to 800m from 1000m could suit her speed, and first-time ear muffs suggest connections are trying to improve her focus. However, barrier 9 is a significant negative at this track where forward positions dominate.

Value pick8th
11Cugat Queen

Our price $25.00 · SP $20.00 · Wayne O'Connell

The inside barrier is crucial at Ipswich, and her 54kg weight is the lightest in the race.
