Winner1. The BarberSP $1.80
★ Top pickWon
1The Barber

Our price $2.60 · SP $1.80 · Ryan Wiggins

The clear form horse. Two wins and a close second from three starts, including a rich two-year-old feature at Townsville where he put a gap on two of today's rivals. He won here over this trip on soft ground, settling near the tail and running them down, so the short straight holds no fears. The knocks are the wide gate, the five-month break and a rise to open company, but he has the most upside.

2nd pick3rd
6Fancy Geeone

Our price $5.50 · SP $6.00 · Raul Silvera Olivera

Improving filly who did everything right to break through on a soft track over 1100m here last time. The map is her friend: she is the only genuine leader, and with a slow tempo likely she can dictate and kick hard on the turn. The concerns are the leap from a maiden to open class in just her third start and the extra trip, but she gives every indication she is still on the up.

3rd pick2nd
3Barbarian King

Our price $6.00 · SP $4.80 · Anthony Allen

Reliable three-year-old with a placing in every start, including a narrow defeat here on a soft track last week. He has the right tactical profile for a slowly run race and a fine record at this venue, but he steps out of restricted grade into open company and tries 1200m for the first time. Placing claims look stronger than winning claims.

Value pick6th
5Blessed Boom

Our price $7.00 · SP $10.00 · Leslie Tilley

The knock is that her only wet-track start was a well-beaten seventh, and she is unproven at open company.

6Pulsating

Our price $1.90 · SP $1.50 · Nikki Olzard

The clear form pick. She has been knocking on the door, finishing second, third and second at her last three including a half-length defeat here on soft ground where she led and fought on. With no obvious rival for the lead she should dictate terms from the front, and the 2kg claim drops her to 52.5kg. The query is the 1400m, where she is yet to place, but everything else points her way.

2nd pick6th
9Patienceofasaint

Our price $4.80 · SP $5.50 · Adam Sewell

Lightly raced filly who caught the eye here last start when holding second in the run and boxing on for fourth on soft ground. She has enough early dash to sit in the leading pair in a race without much tempo, which is exactly where you want to be at this track. The step to 1400m is the unknown but her breeding suggests it suits, and her stable knows how to win here.

3rd pick5th
3He's A Fighter

Our price $14.00 · SP $17.00 · Georgina Cartwright

He has been around the mark without winning and his best performance came at this course when he finished strongly from midfield over shorter. He settles in the leading trio here, which suits a race with little pace on paper, and his trainer is the best-performed local stable in the field. The concern is that he was well held the only time he ran 1400m, and he is unproven on the sting out of the ground.

Value pick4th
2Enterprise Valour

Our price $15.00 · SP $26.00 · Amy Graham

Two runs back he led on a soft track over this trip at Townsville and was only collared on the line in a class higher than this, and he now drops back to a maiden after two tougher assignments. He has the early speed to be in the firing line from the outset, which is where you need to be in a race with a lone, moderate leader. His last couple were plain but this is his easiest task in a long time.

Winner4. MetalcraftSP $2.50
★ Top pickWon
4Metalcraft

Our price $2.20 · SP $2.50 · Chris McIver

Metalcraft is the one to beat. He has won his last three, including an Open Handicap at this track on soft ground, and carries the same 54kg. He is unbeaten at Rockhampton and has a strong soft-track record. The only slight query is whether he can back up a hard-fought win, but his form is clearly the best in the race.

2nd pick6th
6Thee Creek

Our price $4.50 · SP $4.60 · Amy Graham

Thee Creek is a progressive four-year-old who won nicely at this track on soft ground last start. He drops 4.5kg to the minimum and has a good soft-track record.

3rd pick3rd
3Sunnycoast

Our price $6.00 · SP $8.00 · Nikki Olzard

Sunnycoast has a strong record at this track and distance and should lead from barrier one. He is proven in Open company and has won on soft ground.

Value pick2nd
5Alloutatime

Our price $6.00 · SP $8.50 · Warwick Satherley

Alloutatime is the value play. She is a track-and-distance specialist with a strong soft-track record and meets Thee Creek 4.5kg better off from their last meeting, where she finished second.

Winner3. The DefenderSP $6.00
★ Top pickWon
3The Defender

Our price $4.50 · SP $6.00 · Chris McIver

In career-best form with three wins on end, the latest a class 3 over 1400m. He races in the first three or four, which suits a moderate tempo at a track where on-pace winners have struggled, and gate four gives him first use of the inside.

2nd pick6th
4Yes Larry

Our price $5.50 · SP $8.00 · Ashley Butler

His last-start second in a class 5 plate, beaten a head, is the strongest formline coming in, and he drops in grade with the same weight. He settles back but this track has been giving closers a chance. The one real concern is a stable that has not had a recent winner.

3rd pick2nd
6Ellibaby

Our price $8.00 · SP $10.00 · Warwick Satherley

A 1200m specialist dropping out of class 6 company after a closing second. She has the early speed to take a handy spot behind a moderate tempo, and there is no established leader in the race. Her soft-track form is solid, she owns a slick time at the trip and the class drop helps.

Value pick5th
1Bruckheimer

Our price $10.00 · SP $11.00 · Amy Graham

He is a 1200m horse with a win and three placings on soft and two seconds from three first-up attempts, and he is drawn to get an economical run behind the speed.

4Panda Drum

Our price $4.20 · SP $3.80 · Ashley Butler

Panda Drum is the form horse on recent evidence, winning two of his last five and producing the best winning performance in this field when successful over the mile at Emerald. He maps to settle handy from barrier one in a slow tempo, which suits, and the jockey has a strong record with the stable. The soft track is a query, but he has placed on it and his class and win profile are superior.

2nd pick2nd
7Mr Grey

Our price $4.80 · SP $4.80 · Warwick Satherley

Mr Grey has been a model of consistency without winning, placing in three of his last five and running well over the Emerald mile two starts back behind Panda Drum. He handles soft ground without winning on it, and from a good gate he should sit mid-pack in a race lacking pace. His record at this track and trip is a concern, but he is overpriced relative to his place claims.

999th pickScratched
2General Wolffe

Our price $5.00 · Amy Graham

General Wolffe is a reliable mile performer at this track with a stack of placings and a win here over the distance. He drops from a higher grade and his recent 1600m efforts have been close, including a narrow second over this course. He can settle just behind the speed in a slow race and is proven on soft ground. The lack of wins is the obvious knock, so he is more a place than win proposition.

Value pick3rd
3Sneaky Peaky

Our price $8.00 · SP $7.00 · Adam Sewell

Sneaky Peaky is the value option. He is an on-pace type who won his maiden on soft ground and was a handy fourth in a similar grade at Townsville last start. The slow predicted tempo suits his style, and he has upside as a lightly raced four-year-old.

2Lim's Teide

Our price $3.20 · SP $2.45 · Ryan Wiggins

He drops in grade, won a recent soft-track trial at this track, and maps to sit outside the leader in a moderate tempo. His first-up record includes a win, and the stable-jockey combination is strong. The risks are a 205-day break and only four career starts, but his class and tactical speed make him the one to beat.

2nd pickWon
3Darth Invader

Our price $6.50 · SP $13.00 · Amy Graham

Darth Invader is a track-and-distance winner who drops in class and gets a 2kg claim. He maps to settle handy from barrier four, and his first-up record includes two placings. His last preparation included a close second in stronger company at this track.

3rd pick5th
4Sujeed

Our price $7.00 · SP $5.50 · Warwick Satherley

Sujeed is racing consistently, having won two starts back at this track and finishing a close fourth last time in the same grade and going. He has a good barrier and a senior rider, but his get-back style is a concern at 1100m in a moderate tempo.

Value pick8th
6Craiglea Merida

Our price $10.00 · SP $26.00 · Adam Sewell

Craiglea Merida is the value play. She drops sharply from stronger company and brings solid recent form, including a second in stronger grade. She has the speed to overcome a wide draw and settle handy, but her soft-track record is poor and she will need to cross cleanly.

5Humble Hero

Our price $4.00 · SP $6.50 · Natalea Summers

The most reliable horse in the race: five wins and four seconds from 17, three wins from four at Rockhampton and placings in two of three at this trip here. He handles soft ground, drops out of a stronger class last start and maps to sit just off what should be a muddling tempo.

2nd pick2nd
3Zedari

Our price $5.50 · SP $4.40 · Nikki Olzard

Winner of his last two, including a tough all-the-way success over 1200 here, and he gets in light with the 2kg claim. The McConachy yard is flying and the jockey-trainer pairing is prolific. The knock is the wide gate — the 1300 start gives him room, but he will have to spend petrol crossing. Still the second-best winning chance.

3rd pick3rd
4Bold Artic

Our price $5.00 · SP $5.00 · Georgina Cartwright

Honest and consistent; led and fought on for a close second over 1400 at Sunshine Coast last time, the strongest recent run among the on-pacers. Gate four should see him lob into the box seat behind the speed and he drops slightly in class. The query is the wet, where his record reads one win from ten, and he is yet to win at this trip.

Value pick8th
8Outwitted

Our price $8.50 · SP $17.00 · Ryan Wiggins

Saves his best for this track: three wins, two seconds and two thirds from 12 starts here, including a win and two seconds at this trip. He was a fair fifth behind Zedari last start after doing plenty early, draws to be handy from gate three and is suited by a slow tempo.
