R1 n8 SUNSET DREAMING Maps back near last on a fast tempo to run on late out wider off this tempo. 2nd up off 21 days drops 1.5kg stays at 1100m. Resumed off 196-day spell here S7 sat back 7th and not clearest path home but strong late for 2d narrowly beaten by a wet tracker in good figures. She has the fastest L200m of the meeting there and was unlucky not to win. Loses B Shinn (stable jockey back aboard) but will be running on strongly late. Keen she wins.
R7 n8 ARKANSAW KID Forward inside on map resuming off a 98-day spell. Led and won last jump out impressively. Last prep was close in some highly rated 3YO Group and Listed class races without winning. Preparation prior was similar when pushed out to 1600m races which wasn’t ideal. Gelded and flying in his trials with all his best overall numbers just better than his rivals today. Great map forward inside and clear top pick.
R9 n16 ELOUYOU Leads inside on map from soft draw. 5th up off 49 days but won jump out easily since. Drops 3.5kg but stays at 1400m off last start win at Rosehill H8. He sat 2nd on a fast tempo which suits his racing style on faster tempos and way too strong late winning easily 1.9L in rock solid figures. Lightly raced 5YO with ideal racing pattern up on speed and looks clear top pick here today.

R4 n8 LOST Maps MF inside 3P back. 2d up off 17 days drops 1.5kg and well suited out to 1100m (+100m). She resumed off 144-day spell Warwick Farm slow 6, drew outside and went back to 7th on an even tempo but charged home late to win easily by 2.4L when heavily backed in high quality closing figures. A talented mare who sets up ideally off this map to charge home late and win this race. She has elite closing speed.
R5 n5 SEQUESTERED Maps MF on outside 4P back and suited from there late this tempo. 2nd up off 21 days rises 2.5kg and suited out to 1400m (+100m). Resumed off 259-day spell Randwick H8 went back 8th on a very slow tempo and was strong late for 3rd beaten 0.8L when race shape was against her and not in the best ground. She still ran the fastest L200m of the meeting and sets up well today off that out to 1400m. Her peak rating last prep was 2nd up at 1400m and is clear top pick back to mares class today.

R7 n4 ROCKRIBBED Map in front inside or 3rd leaders back from ideal draw. 4th up off 14 days drops 1kg stays at 1350m. Last start here G4 drew soft sat 4th on a fast tempo and won narrowly. Soft track and Doomben 1350m off 14 days suits off an ideal map. Lightly raced 7YO who has been excellent since joining Gollan stable in Brisbane and clear top pick again off this map after the claim.

R2 n5 BLUE CHIP GIRL Is an ex Victorian resuming for the in-form Geran stable. She brings solid form from down south for a race like this and looks ready to go judging by her solid jump outs recently. Maps nicely just behind the speed and should be too strong late for these.
R4 n1 MEDALS Was a dominant winner resuming at this track over the shorter trip, then led and fought on well for 3rd in fast time at Sunshine Coast last start. Will be better for that run and can find the front again here, will take plenty of running down.
