Racing & Sports expert selections.

RACE 1 - WEATHER (11) peaks and he found more like his best at Dalby. Maps well and will carry just 52.5kgs with the claim. The one to beat with the two most likely scratched. DARLING HEART (8) resumed at Ipswich in solid order and can improve quickly over the longer sprint. Gets in well with the 3kg claim and has plenty up the sleeve. PRINCESS LUTETIA (12) also steps up in distance and measure her chances on the Dalby placing two-back. Has a 2kg claim and is on a 5-day return. BECALLMAH (4) trialled well but didn't have the best of it on debut. Quick improvement is likely.

RACE 2 - DIVINE CHARM (9) rates well for this contest. Came from the back and showed more like her best at the Sunshine Coast over 1800m. Finally draws an advantageous barrier and can break through. THAT KISS (4) is a likely improver from the Duff yard and has the first-time blinkers applied. She's trialled since last seen and maps well. The 3kg claim brings her into it. CRIMSON ECHO (5) is hard fit and going well enough to feature in the remaining line-up. Ditto STARATH (3) and Huxtable is a positive jockey booking.

RACE 3 - GIDDY GAN'S JOY (6) resumed at Ipswich over a mile beaten 1.3L. She has plenty up her sleeve and is best over the middle distances. Maps for a soft run and fitter can go one better. GOLD PRINCE (2) won well over a mile and then got too far back from a wide gate at Ipswich. Risks getting bottled up from the inside gate but gets in well again with the 3kg claim. ALERT AND READY (11) has been racing well at lesser venues. Has placed this course/distance and can't be ruled out. EMBOLDEN (5) missed a nose at Ipswich two back. They have scratched the stablemate and supporters will be sticking.

RACE 4 - BEAN ROCKING (1) is a leader who spiked his figures at Toowoomba before returning and belting the 58 graders by 3.8L. The 1.5lg claim is handy and he's on a 5-day return. He can go on with the job. IT'S HELLS BELLS (5) was building well before a plain effort at Ipswich where he pulled up with an issue. He can control the race from the inside gate and deserves consideration. GERRYMANDER (6) also races forward. Was outgraded at Doomben but the poly form prior stacks up. Needs a good ride skipping over from an outside barrier. VOULAIT (4) is a veteran back in grade and on a 9-day return. Has pieces of form that stack up and he has won four times over this longer sprint. Including.

RACE 5 - Competitive. FLASH ZARIZ (6) missed a whisker at Gatton over 1400m hitting the line hard. He was even better in a CL5 at Ipswich first-up and hits this at peak fitness. Tough to beat. UNION SPIRIT (5) finished a whisker behind the above at Gatton and is busting to win. Rates well but he gives away starts requiring clever rides. That's the niggle with him. FLYING BIRDS (3) has threatened in town at his last two starts and will relish country grade. A winning chance as well. CASANOVA MAN (2) brings a tidy Maiden win from Doomben. Has the outside gate but can keep building.

RACE 6 - MILAGRO (9) is back in grade and rates well. Has a 1.5kg claim and is well-placed to be winning. Not sure what happened to GLEEFILLY (11) at Gympie but she would be hard to beat at best and hits the race at peak fitness. She's an each-way hope. IL TORO D'ORO (2) disappointed at Ipswich but the two efforts prior stack right up. Maps well and gets his chance. COBURG (4) is back in grade off a solid effort at Gatton. Races handy and is up to this at best.

RACE 7 - BRECHEN (1) resumes and has switched from a Victorian barn. He owns a Doomben trial win which creates plenty of interest. Has an awkward barrier but Huxtable is a positive jockey engagement and he can race forward. JAFUBOY (5) spiked his figures beaten 1.3L at Gatton. Raced a short-priced favourite in that. Will go close with luck from an outside barrier. MAPLE MAGIC (12) is third-up with plenty up the sleeve. Has a handy gate and is a chance. EYE WANTED (9) is third-up with more to give over the longer trip. The 3kg claim brings her right into it.
