Kilcoy Picks

Hard to imagine top pick being beaten. SCHOONA THE BETTER has three placings from 11 runs this prep and finished strongly to end up midfield last start at Rockhampton, the testing material. FORCE ME drawn ideally, capable of getting into the money. GINASUE rates highly with Sean Cormack aboard and likely to settle back in the field, chance to place. MADALSA faded to finish one and a half lengths off the winner last start at Kilcoy, place claims.

This race could be run at a slow tempo. FIRST MAN ran on strong to finish on the winner's heels at only start at Dalby, serious player. LADY BOSSA NOVA finished midfield last start at Kilcoy, looks threatening. ARGUABLE finished midfield last start at Coffs Harbour and gets the blinkers back on, could upset. POLLY PRINCESS finished in the middle of the pack last start at Kumbia and should run fitter for past attempts, needs the breaks.

MISTA OMEGA chased strongly to win last start at Kumbia and rates highly with Chloe Lowe aboard, will take the power of beating. COBURG amongst the placegetters last start running third at Ipswich and rates highly with Georgina Cartwright back on board, capable of getting into the money with a bit of luck. PASSIONATE REBEL back from six week let-up and trial in the 47 days since last run could help, for the exotics. CHASING JACKLEY couldn't hold on and just missed last start at Rockhampton, for the wider exotics.

Stand-out between the top two picks. SOCIAL STAR narrowly beaten when heavily backed last start at Kilcoy and won't be far away in the run, well placed. TAKARA STAR placed last start at Kilcoy and rates highly with Samantha Collett retaining the ride, right in this. SUMMER STAR ran two lengths back from the winner last start at Kilcoy and likely to race on the speed, could threaten. MORDECAI let-up, chance to place.

VORTEXIA a winner at first outing this prep, major contender. CHANCE WITH WOLVES finished seventh last start at Sunshine Coast and returns to shorter trip, needs the breaks. ARIAT only just missed last start, finishing half a length back from the winner at Toowoomba and has two placings from five runs this prep, strong place chance. PAUJI POWER ran fourth last start at Queanbeyan and won once this prep at Moruyan eight runs back, capable of getting into the money.

BELISTIC MAN faded from front position to finish just off the winner last start at Kilcoy and won't be far away in the run, big chance. LIZZIE'S GEM led throughout for a dominant win last start at Beaudesert and won't be far away in the run, could threaten. PLATINUM LIES drawn perfectly, place only. MASTERPLAN has very strong form at Kilcoy and likely to race on the speed, chance to place.

WINCHMAN has been trialling well in build-up to this prep, well placed. BARGARA BOUND resumes after a spell of 30 weeks and has the speed to overcome an unfavourable draw, don't treat lightly. SHANNON'S LEGACY resumes after a 26 week spell and faded to finish eighth at only start at Kembla Grange on a heavy track, could upset. TORERA was narrowly beaten as a favourite last start at Beaudesert and drawn the rails, don't dismiss.

EYE WANTED just missed when heavily backed last start at Kilcoy and has three placings from four runs this prep, commands respect. STEP ON FIRE let-up and very strong resuming winning twice when fresh, not without each-way claims. YEAH COPY first-up after 17 week break and likes a heavier track, dangerous. IMPERIONESS has the speed to overcome drawing the widest barrier and has four placings from seven runs this prep, place chance.
