Toowoomba Picks

Hard to imagine top pick being beaten. FOR THE BRAVE resumes after a 13 week spell and faded to finish three lengths off the winner at only start at Dalby, major contender. ADDICTIVE PIRANHA let-up and expect to lead/box seat with a favourable draw, quinella. SO YES IT IS let-up for six weeks and amongst the placegetters last start running third at Ballina on a soft track, place best. WINDOW TAPPER resumes after a 25 week spell and likely to race just off the speed, place best.

Will be a close run race between the top picks. TUHINGA placed last start at Toowoomba and rates highly with Georgina Cartwright aboard, a close top selection. ADELAD finished in the middle of the pack last start at Gold Coast, expect to be right up there. CAPITAN DE SEDA strong finishing effort to win last start at Toowoomba and has multiple wins at the track, in with a chance. SHADYVALE STORM has the speed to overcome drawing the widest barrier and has two placings from six runs this prep, not without each-way claims.

ULUWATU has gone well on a softer track and has two placings from three runs this prep, serious player. HEROIC CHIEF 2 wins from nine attempts this campaign and drawn ideally, place only. ANYWAY YOU WANT IT resumes from a 20 week spell and ran eighth at Toowoomba when last first-up, not the worst. HUSSON'S REVENGE in the money last start running second at Goondiwindi and has two placings from four runs this prep, place only.

PUREZZA won once this prep at Toowoomba three runs back and likely to race on the speed, serious player. MINIMAL led all the way to win last start at Moree and proven perfromer on a soft track, in with a chance. DEVIL'S RITE finished in the middle of the pack last start at Dalby on a soft track and should race on the speed, each-way claims. NEW YORK GAL has multiple wins at Toowoomba, capable of getting into the money.

All about one horse here. ARCHER'S GAME has won at Dalby and placed in all other attempts this campaign, serious player. JORUM amongst the placegetters last start running third at Toowoomba and won once this prep at the track two runs back, quinella. CONEY ISLAND BABY finished three lengths off the winner last start at Gold Coast when fresh and ran seventh at Warwick when last second-up, place only. ZOUWALER bolted in last start to break maiden at Toowoomba, place chance.

Can’t imagine one of the top two not winning. SO BRIGHT back after 18 week break and won at Ipswich in first outing, one of the main hopes. PRESS YES back from let-up, expect to be right up there. JEROBI won once this prep at Toowoomba two runs back and faded to finish 10 lengths off the winner last start at Dalby, could upset. HER EXPENSE short back-up of seven days, don't dismiss.

APFEL placed as a favourite last start at Toowoomba and should run fitter for past attempts, tough to beat. THUNDER SHANGHAI placed last start at Sunshine Coast and has four placings from eight runs this prep, the real danger in the race. BLOOD RED has two placings from five runs this prep and finished midfield last start at Toowoomba, could upset. SERAPUS ran four lengths back from the winner last start at Toowoomba and is up in journey, needs the breaks.
