We are back for what will be another huge edition of The Thursday Focus where the racing is as hot as you’ll find!

12 races and not just races, elite fields are set to step at 6:27pm AEST with four heats of the 710m Queensland Cup followed by eight heats of the Brisbane Cup over the 520m.

Big names are all across the card so stay tuned for each race as it’ll be fireworks from the beginning. Let’s go find the dub.

BEST BETS

R2 N2 IRISH MILLIE

Wasn’t disgraced last start in the feature hand selected distance race against arguably the best stayers in the land. Running a slick 41.79 sees her win almost any race except last week, settles behind the speed in 1 & 3 tonight and just picks them off. Good record off box 2 and expect to add to that. $3.80 will shorten.

R11 N2 OVERLOW BEAU

7 starts at the track for 5 wins and boy doesn’t that say he loves the creek. Winner off any draw and absolutely broke the clock last start with a sizzling 29.59 win. Has minimal speed drawn around him to challenge for the early lead, wide runner in 6 will be perfect for holding off the wide crew. Best of the night.

VALUE BETS

R10 N1 PRONOUNS

1 from 1 off the cherry and hasn’t seen the fence in her past three outings. Before that dominated off the red in 29.77 and has the early speed to hold the rail and beat mackenna. In elite hands and expect a bold showing, $11 was on offer earlier but knocked off into a more realistic $4.40. Huge show.
