RACE 1 - JUST BINGO (4) resumes but has placed three of five overall and strikes a very winnable contest here. Has placed around this circuit and gets Stanley back in the irons. Looks the hardest to toss. SIRENE (3) is unlucky to still be a maiden finishing runner-up on no less than seven occasions. Drawn to get all the favours from the inside alley and should be in this for a long way. MR GREY (2) strips fitter second-up from the spell and can feature in the finish on best form. PHANTOM FLIGHT (5) has been thereabouts in both runs since joining the new stable and will be near his peak now. In the mix. JUKE BOX JIMMY (1) best of the rest.

RACE 2 - SCRUB CHAIN (2) is knocking on the door of a maiden victory placing at his past couple and this is not an overly strong affair. Placed over this track and trip and rates the testing material against this lot. FRASER'S RIDGE (4) has hit the top-five at his past four outings and will be rock-hard fit for this. Looms as the main danger. OFFANGO (5) has placed over this distance range and gets Wiggins back in the saddle. Top-three conveyance. LITTLE PINKER (9) was a touch disappointing last time out but go on the solid second at Mackay on debut. Worth another chance. DALT JAZ (7) rounds out the selections in a race with only a handful of chances.

RACE 3 - GROWL (1) was a dominant winner at Mackay at the latest effort and is sure to have derived a stack of confidence from that victory. Can go right on with the job now. PRETTY SLICK (5) loves this track and trip with a win and five placings from just seven attempts and Wiggins stays on board. Rates a serious contender. CALL ME MARILYN (8) resumes here but showed enough when last in work to warrant consideration in a race like this. Can run a race while fresh. MISS DAURIAN (4) has placed over this course and distance and is one for the exotics players. CHASETON (6) strips fitter third-up from the break and may trouble the judge.

RACE 4 - ARACELI (9) placed over this distance range at Mackay in her first run for the new stable before being a touch flat there last time out. Drawn to get all the favours from the inside alley and should give backers a sight. RUSSIAN LAD (1) has been given plenty of time to furnish and may feature with natural improvement. TIME TO GET READY (10) strips fitter second-up and is one for the multiples. SUPER TALON (2) is facing the starter for the first time and any market confidence must be noted.

RACE 5 - ACROPHOBIC (6) has hit a purple patch of form stringing two wins together on the bounce including absolutely smashing them at Mackay last time out. Racing with a lot of confidence now and no surprise to see the streak continue. TERMINUS (9) strips fitter third-up from the spell and gets in very well at the weights with the 3kg claim. Has to be included. KUZCO LAD (1) is better than recent efforts suggest and is worth another chance.

RACE 6 - BARRY'S LANE (1) is racing in a rich vein of form with a hat-trick of wins including two around this circuit. Winning hoop Stanley stays in the stirrups and can continue the picket fence here. Former NSW galloper MIL CIENTO (6) has been right there in all three runs since joining the new stable and gets Huxtable on board. Hard to leave out on current form. ROCKY REBEL (10) has hit the top-five at her past four outings and has placed over this track and trip. In the mix. ALEACO (2) is one from one over this course and distance and is racing very consistently. A must for the multiples. STREET GLORY (7) strips fitter second-up from the spell and draws the inside alley. Can feature in the finish.

RACE 7 - Former Victorian HELLISH (4) is having his first run for the new stable but showed ability down south and revved up for this with a recent trial win here. Has placed two from four when fresh and a bold first-up showing would not surprise. NOBLE HEART (5) will be near his peak now fourth-up from the spell and does boast a win over this distance range. Looks a serious player. ROBUST BOY (10) is a bit of a hit or miss type but has won over this track and trip and rates a genuine contender on best form. SEISME (6) best of the rest.
