Racing & Sports expert selections.

RACE 1 - MISTING (2) got the job done over the mile journey here at the latest effort and will have derived a stack of confidence from that victory. The extra furlong here looks to suit and should be going very close again. THE TORQUE FACTOR (1) looked good winning at the Sunny Coast on debut before not being too far off them at Doomben last time out. Strikes a winnable contest here and can bounce right back. PROPOSE (6) has been racing consistently in lesser grade and has earned her shot in town. Top-three conveyance. BANKSIA BEACH (5) was a dominant Toowoomba winner last start and can trouble the judge with the right run. The well-related REMLAP KAVA (3) (full to G2 winner Chrysaor) rounds out the selections.

RACE 2 - There are some well-related gallopers amongst this lot. AWASH (2) (half to G1 winner Sherwood Forest) is knocking on the door of another victory with two consecutive runner-up finishes and gets plenty of weight relief with the 3kg claim. Should be at peak fitness for this and looks the one they all have to run down. FLEUR DU MONDE (6) (half to G3 winner Irish Flame) has won over this track and trip and gets the deadly Waller/Orman combination. Rates a serious threat. WAIRERE FALLS (1) (half to 4xG1 winner Sacred Falls) is drawn to get all the favours from the inside alley and is a genuine top three hope on best form. MENAZZI (5) has placed in all five runs this preparation and is a must for the multiples. HYDE (4) strips fitter fourth-up from the spell and a strong showing would not surprise.

RACE 3 - STREET CHASE (1) just ran into one better at Doomben on debut before being tipped out for time to furnish. Has since returned in fine fashion with a dominant three length victory there and winning hoop Orman sticks in the saddle. Rates the testing material. SHAMADAN (4) got the job done at Murwillumbah when facing the starter for the first time and was then not disgraced in a tougher race at Randwick. Revved up for this with a recent trial and should get a gun run in transit from the inside marble. Looms as the main danger while fresh. ZATANNA (6) didn't measure up in Listed company before the spell but go on the six-length romp on debut. Worth another chance. HELLA FAST (2) was well in the market on debut and didn't let supporters down. Can go right on with the job now. JOY A PLENTY (3) has put two wins together albeit in lesser grade but hard to ignore fillies in form.

RACE 4 - It's hard to knock the form of METALART (5) who has strung four wins together on the bounce to start the career. Is one from one around this circuit and is racing with a lot of confidence. Can return in winning order. The well-related APPIN GIRL (6) (half to G2 winner Sesar) returns from a lengthy spell but has tuned up for this with a recent Doomben trial victory and has placed at Group 2 level in a past life. Big chance if back in good order. HELLUVA BARTY (3) has been thereabouts at the past five outings and gets some weight relief with the claim. Top three hope. XPRESSO (2) won two of three when last in work and draws the inside alley. Can run a race while fresh. GIVE GIGGLES (9) strips fitter second-up from the spell and must be respected from the Gollan camp.

RACE 5 - WANDA ROX (6) didn't measure up at Listed level last time out but go on the four-length domination over this track and trip when resuming. Draws the inside marble and gets in well at the weights with the 2kg claim. Will be right there at the business end. NASHIRA (2) loves this course and distance with three wins and two placings from eight attempts. Returned in good order and can go right on with the job now. TIGER SHARK (5) resumes here but revved up for this with a recent Sunny Coast trial win and may run a race while fresh. RUBIQUITOUS (1) best of the rest with the 3kgs off.

RACE 6 - CASTILLIAN (9) has been right there in all four outings this time in work and looks to be working up to another victory. Is a winner at this trip, draws low and gets Orman back in the saddle. Ticks plenty of boxes. READY AZZ EVA (4) has a solid record around this circuit with two wins and two seconds from seven attempts. Sure to be rock-hard fit for this and can play a major role in the finish. Border hopper VOLCANIC LOVE (10) has gotten better with each run this campaign culminating in a dominant Grafton win at the latest effort. Top three credentials. AMERICAN PHIREBALL (3) has hit a purple patch of form at the past couple and cannot be discounted. WHO ORDERED DAFISH (14) best of the rest with the 3kg claim.

RACE 7 - Looks a wide-open affair. CATWALK CRIMINAL (12) hasn't done much wrong with four wins and three placings from just eight starts to date including a victory over this six-furlong journey. Will be at peak fitness now fourth-up from the spell and should give backers a sight. JOHN RAMBO (8) is two from three over this course and distance and must be respected from the Gollan camp. Looms as a main player. HELL (3) has put back-to-back wins together and gets in well at the weights with the claim. Cannot be underestimated. Former Hong Kong galloper MIDORI BEAUTY (9) has shown plenty of ability in both local runs and is a must for the exotics. SPIRIT QUEEN (16) next in line.

RACE 8 - The $160,000 Listed Queensland Cup. NIKAU SPUR (3) just ran into one better in the Toowoomba Cup at the latest effort and looks to be improving with racing this campaign. Has a win and a placing from three starts at this circuit, draws the inside marble and gets Orman in the stirrups. Should be right there when the judge calls a halt. ARTFUL GIRL (9) has two wins and a second from her past three starts and it's hard to ignore mares in form. Likely to feature in the outcome. KIRKEBY (5) has won over this staying test and strips fitter third-up from the break. In the mix. TAPILDOODLEDO (2) has won at Group 2 level in a past life and rates a serious contender on best form. SIMPLY REFUSE (12) next in line with Dolan on board.

RACE 9 - A couple of these hail from handy families. WARBY (6) (half to G1 winner and stallion Captivant) got a well-deserved victory over this track and trip at the latest effort after a string of runner-up finishes. Should get a cosy run in transit from gate five and looks a strong winning prospect again. BELVEDERE BOYS (11) (half to G2 winner and G1 placed Frolic) is a very honest campaigner who is yet to miss the top four in nine career outings. Is yet to miss a drum in five starts over this distance range and has to be included in calculations. CLOUDLAND (5) has hit the frame in all three runs this time in work and doesn't know how to run a bad race. Hard to toss. SHA OF GOMER (1) has won two of his past three and draws the inside alley. In the mix.

RACE 10 - The $160,000 Listed Tattersalls Members Cup closes out the ten-race card. Group 3 winner YELLOW BRICK (1) resumed in fine fashion with a close-up second in the Listed Weetwood and will have come on with that run now in the locker. Loves it here at Eagle Farm with three wins and two seconds from just five outings and looks to have a bit of class on this field. Will give this a mighty shake. NSW galloper GREBENI (4) has been plying his trade in tougher races down south and may run a race while fresh. BANDERSNATCH (2) will be rock-hard fit for this and may earn some minor money.
