Toowoomba tips and results

Our price $4.00 · SP $3.40 · Kelsey Lenton

She has been holding her own in stronger races at Eagle Farm and Doomben, finishing close-up each time, and her finish is among the sharpest in this line-up. Blinkers go on first time and she is a reliable mare who rarely runs badly. She settles well back from gate 11, but with only a moderate tempo expected she can still round them up.

Our price $6.50 · SP $10.00 · Jake Bayliss

Deep Tiara is the form runner of the field at this track, having won her latest start over 1110m at Toowoomba and placed in her two earlier runs here. The step up from weaker company is the query, but she has been competitive at this level and looks a live each-way chance.

Our price $8.50 · SP $13.00 · Dale Smith

The likely lone leader who should control an uncontested tempo, and his last-start close-up fifth in much stronger Open company says he is not out of this.

Our price $3.60 · SP $3.50 · Angela Jones

The concern is the pattern of the day - she likes to settle back and let down late, and Toowoomba heavily rewards runners sitting handy. The form is good enough to win, but the wide draw and run style mean she needs luck.

Our price $8.00 · SP $10.00 · Ryan Houston

A consistent mare who has won five times on good going and likes this trip. She showed she is up to this grade when a close fourth at Doomben two runs back, and she maps to settle right where the track winners come from.

Our price $5.50 · SP $2.60 · Ben E Thompson

Promising four-year-old who ran a big race first-up at Eagle Farm, close up after covering extra ground. A second-up record to improve on and a wide draw are the knocks, but there is untapped upside.

Our price $4.00 · SP $4.40 · Ryan Houston

Rimbaud brings the most reliable form line into this race, having been beaten a whisker at this grade at his past two starts while doing the early work. From gate two he maps to settle right on the pace, which is exactly what this tight, turning track demands. The knock is he has never seen Toowoomba and his overall win strike is modest, but the fit between his racing style and this circuit makes him the one to beat.

Our price $4.50 · SP $3.00 · Ben E Thompson

Meldubious is the class runner and a sharp finisher, but he does his best work from well back, and Toowoomba is a tight, turning track that rewards horses on the speed. From gate ten he will be giving away ground on a course that rarely hands it back. He is the one they have to beat on ability, but at the shorts he looks an underlay rather than the value, so I place him third.

Our price $15.00 · SP $26.00 · Sean Cormack

He races handy from a good gate, the right place to be on this circuit.

Our price $4.80 · SP $9.00 · Daniel Moor

Landed the strongest recent run in this field when winning over 1200m at Doomben two starts back, and he maps to sit third or fourth from a handy gate, exactly where Toowoomba sprints are won.

Our price $4.50 · SP $3.80 · Taylor Marshall

The concern is her get-back style on a track that rewards forward position, along with a sharp rise in grade.

Our price $13.00 · SP $31.00 · Leslie Tilley

A top local jockey rides him well.

Our price $7.00 · SP $11.00 · Taylor Marshall

He is the quickest to begin and the track's on-pace bias is in his favour from the front. The jump in grade from maiden company to open class is the query, and barrier 10 makes his task tougher.

Our price $26.00 · SP $101.00 · Ron Stewart

A Toowoomba specialist who has won both her starts at this track. She races on the speed and has drawn perfectly in barrier 4, which fits a track that strongly favours forward positioning. Her last run over 1400m can be forgiven as she was left in front and did too much early.

Our price $8.00 · SP $5.50 · Ben E Thompson

A sharp, improving sprinter who has won two of his last three, including a strong-closing success last start. The knock is that he does his best work from back in the field, which is not ideal at Toowoomba, and this is a sharp step up in class, so he looks the best of the place chances.

Our price $33.00 · SP $101.00 · Kelsey Lenton

Our price $4.00 · SP $4.20 · Cejay Graham

The clear form horse of the field — she has been right around the mark in stronger Brisbane company, beaten a whisker two starts back before winning at this sort of trip. She settles back and charges home, and the three genuine leaders engaged should set a genuinely run staying test that plays to her strength. Steps up to Open grade but drops to a featherweight. The one they all have to beat.

Our price $5.50 · SP $5.00 · Daniel Moor

A progressive stayer who has been winning and placing over longer trips, and whose on-pace style suits this turning, forward-friendly track. He gets a soft run from a decent gate and the Gollan-Moor partnership has struck regularly together. The class rise is the query, but he is heading the right way and deserves each-way respect.

Our price $10.00 · SP $8.50 · Robbie Dolan

Her recent numbers are among the best in the race — a strong win two runs back followed by a close fourth in stronger company. She goes forward and gets on the pace, which is what this track demands. The wide draw is the obvious knock, though staying trips here do give the wider gates a chance.

Our price $4.50 · SP $6.00 · Cejay Graham

The best-performed horse at the trip, winning three of four over it, and his recent thirds at a higher level were full of merit. He consistently runs to a high standard. The knock is a wide gate and a get-back style in a race that looks to be run at a modest tempo, which will make it tough to pick them up late at a course that favours forward positions.

Our price $9.00 · SP $10.00 · Gary Geran

He drops out of open company into this grade, draws the inside, and ran a huge race last time when beaten narrowly.
