Coney Island Baby returned to winning ways last start at Kilcoy on Soft 6 and brings a sharp resume for Toowoomba where he has two wins from four starts. Barrier 4 places him perfectly to stalk the pace on a track that rewards forward positioning. Bailey Wheeler is riding with confidence and his high strike rate at this venue adds further appeal.
Cheerful Cat is the ultimate placegetter - four straight top-three finishes and rarely runs a bad race. Barrier 2 ensures he gets every chance to settle handy and produce his best run on the Soft surface where he has placed in half his outings. Leslie Tilley is a reliable Toowoomba pilot and the horse maps perfectly.
He has a win at Toowoomba and handles Soft ground well. Barrier 3 sets him up for a forward run. The missing jockey is a minor concern but his form over the past three months includes competitive efforts at Eagle Farm and Ipswich.
Bump'n'run is the value runner. After a freshen-up he returned with a strong second at Warwick and now drops from BM64 company to a BM58 - a clear class advantage.

Marenaro ticks all boxes for a Soft 6 Toowoomba mile. His record on soft (4 wins from 12) is the best in the field, he loves the track and distance, and he drops 2.5kg from a strong second-up second placing. From barrier 4 he should settle handy, and with Gary Geran riding confidently, he profiles as the most reliable winning chance.
Connecticut drops sharply from BM90 company where he was competitive (5th of 10 in BM90 at Doomben) into BM70 grade. The main concerns are his second-up failure rate and whether 1625m is ideal, but if he brings his class form he can win. Excellent each-way value.
Madalsa is a Toowoomba stalwart with three wins and several placings at the venue. Leslie Tilley knows her well and the inside alley suits. A consistent place chance who can win if things fall right.
Golden Loom is a genuine soft-track specialist with two wins and two seconds from five starts on soft ground, including a BM64 win at Canterbury and a close second in BM72 grade. He gets in light at 56.5kg but faces a tough draw (11) on a track where inside barriers are crucial.

Something Shiny maps perfectly from barrier 2 in a race that should be run at a solid tempo. He ran a strong second over this track and distance last start and is second-up, a configuration that produced a placing in his only previous try. Bailey Wheeler is riding confidently and the stable has the horse ready. The soft track is the only query, but he has the tactical speed to hold a forward position and should be hard to run down.
Revantas has been a model of consistency without winning, but this is a winnable race. His three placings at Toowoomba include strong efforts on soft ground, and he drops to a weaker maiden field here. The barrier is moderate and he'll need to slot in from midfield, but if he repeats his recent 2nd at Chinchilla he will be in the finish.
Markham Miss took a big step forward last time, finishing second at Toowoomba after a wide run. The Geran team is flying and the mare looks to have more to offer. The 1300m is an unknown but she has the build to handle it. Soft ground is an unknown, but good tracks are common in her pedigree.
Usual Limits produced her best performance to date on a Soft 6 at Kilcoy, narrowly beaten after leading. She drops in weight here with the jockey's claim and gets a decent barrier. If she can hold a forward position she will give a big sight.

Rugby arrives in outstanding form with a win and a placing from his last two starts at Toowoomba. He drops in class from BM60 to BM58, enjoys an ideal inside barrier, and his on-pace running style is perfectly suited to the soft surface and track shape.
Wowit's Willywonka is a massive class dropper who has been contesting BM70-80 races. His soft-track record is solid, and the removal of pacifiers could help.
Jorum is a consistent mare who rarely runs poorly at Toowoomba. The lack of a win is a concern, but her tactical versatility and inside draw make her a strong place chance on the soft surface.
Bump'n'run represents genuine each-way value. He has been racing in significantly higher grades in NSW and drops to BM58 level. His soft-track form is strong, and his first-up run at Warwick was full of merit.

American Conquest has been racing consistently at Toowoomba, including a 3rd in BM60 and a 4th in BM58 last start. He maps to lead or sit handy from barrier 3, which suits the Toowoomba bias for forward runners on soft ground. The slight class drop and fast tempo enhance his chance. The main question is his lack of soft track experience, but with fitness and form on his side, he is the most reliable winning chance.
Do What I Say is improving with two strong performances at Warwick and Toowoomba, running home well. She gets a low weight and a red-hot jockey in Kelsey Lenton. The barrier 2 may not suit her settling pattern, but she can race midfield and be strong late in a fast-run race.
Truck Stop Honey resumes from a spell but her last preparation featured consistent performances, including a 2nd at Gatton and a 4th at Dalby. The inside barrier and light weight are positive.

He has a solid soft-track record and jockey Gary Geran is in outstanding touch. The wide barrier is a concern, but he has overcome wide draws before. He maps to lead and will be hard to run down.
She draws ideally in barrier 2 and carries only 53kg. However, her last two runs after a spell have been disappointing. If she returns to her pre-spell form, she is a major threat.
Let'sfacethemusic drops sharply in class from BM78 to C3, a key advantage. Despite carrying top weight and lacking 1000m form, his tactical speed and class edge should be decisive, especially if he secures a forward position from barrier 5.
Charmed Passage is a consistent performer at Toowoomba with a good record over the distance. He gets a significant weight advantage with Kelsey Lenton's claim and draws well in barrier 4.

He Da Boss is a consistent Toowoomba specialist who has placed in his last three starts, including two at this track. From barrier 1, he maps to lead or sit just off the speed, which is the optimal pattern at Toowoomba on soft ground. Despite being a 7YO maiden, his recent form is strong for this grade, and the fast tempo should suit his on-pace style. The win is near.
However, she is untested on soft ground and her jockey is out of form. Still a key winning chance but value is poor.
She has shown ability on soft tracks, finishing 4th at Kilcoy on Soft7. Gary Geran is in outstanding form and has a good record with the stable. The wide barrier is a concern but a fast tempo should help her finish on.
He has placed on soft ground and gets a red-hot jockey in Kelsey Lenton. The wide barrier is a concern, but with the fast tempo he can settle back and run on. The gear change suggests the stable expects improvement.
