Midnight Tammy is in good hands and she showed great early speed when placed here last week in slick time. There is very little speed on her outside so if she gets away cleanly she should be able to muster through and assume control at the first bend. This isn't a very strong race so if she holds them out early she should score easily.
Farmor Eye Am is making her QLD debut and she comes here with solid Victorian form. She is also blessed with great early speed and she should be in the mix for most of the journey.
Deep Despair was far from disgraced when placed over this trip last week and she shouldn't be too far away again. She isn't the greatest of beginners so the start will be crucial to her chances.
Radley Return rounds out the chances, he has raced against some handy chasers of late and he will appreciate this class.
Top Four: 7 – 2 – 8 – 6

Very good race and it's hard to find the winner, I'm going to give the edge to the speedy Tarks Caliber. To date his best racing has been over the shorter journeys here and at Ipswich but I feel that he will be a better chaser over this trip and with the lack of speed underneath he should be able to lead and find the rail soon after the start. The last 40m is a small concern but I think we won't have too much trouble covering the journey.
Magic Maiden scored a blistering 29.96 win here in December and if she can repeat that type of effort she would be getting the cash here, my only concern with her is that she is drawn poorly and she has a keen railer drawn directly outside her.
Double Storm has a big engine and if he can get to the outside without too much trouble he should be a major player, two starts back he really caught the eye when winning at Ipswich in 30.62.
Top Four: 4 – 6 – 5 – 2
Suggested Bets:
Win bet on Tark's Caliber with Sportingbet
Quinella: 4 to rove with 2,5,6 ($3 for 100%)

Mullaway is a big talent and he smashed a small but handy lineup at Lismore two runs back when winning in a blistering 37.12. He has the speed to lead this field and his ridiculous 41.77 would have this field covered by at least six lengths. He is likely to be short odds so it may be worthwhile just anchoring him up front in your exotic bets.
Stargate System was a strong 720m Wentworth Park winner in early December and he has turned in some handy performances since, from the wide draw he should get a fairly clear passage early and he will be charging home late.
Freddy's Smile is drawn to settle in the top two or three early and he recorded a brilliant 600m placing here recently, the last 60m is a concern but if he holds them out he should be able to build up a nice lead mid race.
Top Four: 6 – 8 – 1 – 4
Suggested Bets:
Trifecta: 6/1,4,8/Field ($18 for 100%)
Quinella: 6 to rove with 1,4,8 ($3 for 100%)
Exacta: 6,8/1,4,6,8 ($6 for 100%)

Hope's Magic is an extremely fast chaser and she recently scored two blistering Ipswich wins over the 520m journey. She has recorded two placings over this trip previously and on those occasions she recorded explosive early sectionals, since then she has gained a lot of strength and I would expect her to hit the line a lot better.
Pacific Harbour should come across with the pink in the early stages and he too can reel off blistering sectionals. Two starts back he ran the hands off the clock when winning here over the 395m journey in 22.53.
Blue Tartan has the speed to match them early and he has won three of his past four starts here, he is a better chaser on the bunny but if he sits just behind them he can still feature in the finish.
Kulu Cha Ching is the interesting runner, she is making her 520m debut but she has scored some brilliant wins over the shorter journey.
Top Four: 8 – 7 – 2 – 3
Suggested Bets:
Win bet on Hope's Magic with Sportingbet

Stella Nights has a great record here and she looks perfectly placed in the pink draw. Two starts back she found a heap of bother but she picked herself up and powered away to win by five lengths in 30.44, the time was average but her effort to score was enormous. She has a blistering 29.89 PB and she should prove too good for this lot.
Birkdale Beauty has won three straight here and she should lead for a long way, her last 50m isn't great but if she gets away mid race she may just pinch the race.
Bradley Benz has won three races over this trip and they have all been around the 30.20 mark, he has a great turn of foot and if he can settle in the top two he should figure prominently.
Astound Ya rounds out the chances, he was a strong 30.81 Ipswich winner two runs back and he is a very fast chaser when given room to muster.
Top Four: 8 – 4 – 6 – 5
Suggested Bets:
Win bet on Stella Nights with Sportingbet
Exacta: 4,6,8/4,5,6,8 ($9 for 100%)

Frosty Jay Jay recently returned to racing and he returned in fine style with a slick 19.96 Capalaba win. He looks well placed in the pink draw and if he can still handle the bends he should take a power of beating.
Sheridon has been flying of late and from the inside draw he should be able to push through into a very prominent position early. Two starts back he posted a handy 30.09 victory here and a similar effort tonight would see him figure in the top two.
Abby's Fantasy has the speed to cross and she was far from disgraced when placed over this trip last week, she must lead to win but if she does she will prove extremely hard to reel in.
Top Four: 8 – 1 – 7 – 6
Suggested Bets:
Win bet on Frosty Jay Jay with Sportingbet
Boxed Quinella: 1,6,7,8 ($6 for 100%)

You Can Talk has been racing in great style of late and her effort when placed behind Flash Reality last week was highly impressive. She should be able to find the early lead again and this race is much weaker than the one she contested last week. Obviously the last 40m is a worry but she appears to be a little stronger these days.
Cyndie's Special has a great record here and she should be in a prominent position throughout, two starts back she finished on strongly when placed behind the classy Flash Reality.
Spanish Queen continues to improve and she beat a handy lineup here last week in 30.15, she needs to find a little bit on the clock but I think with a clear run she could get down to the 30 flat mark.
Renatus must also be respected, he has been in career best form of late and he should get a fairly clear passage early from the eight draw.
Top Four: 3 – 2 – 1 – 8
Suggested Bets:
Win bet on You Can Talk with Sportingbet
Boxed Quinella: 1,2,3,8 ($6 for 100%)

Ralphy Cinel returned to his best form here last week with a blistering 34.66 victory and if given room in the first 50m he should roll to the early lead and post similar sectionals and overall time. He has slow beginners on his outside so he should get space on his outside but the concern is underneath because there is a lot of speed in boxes two to four.
Clash Of Kings is a super talent and if he could step cleanly he would become a major player in this event. With an even getaway he would have sufficient speed to burn to the early lead and he is a different chaser when on the bunny.
Kidatee Croc will settle near the pace and he has a terrific record over this trip, if the inside division bunch up he should be able to carve across and assume control.
Farmer's Gold is the interesting runner, he gets in from the red draw and he is a fast chaser when given room, he needs to improve his box manners but if he can settle in the top three he should be able to make a strong push mid race.
Top Four: 5 – 4 – 8 – 9
Suggested Bets:
Win bet on Ralphy Cinel with Sportingbet
Boxed Quinella: 4,5,8,9 ($6 for 100%)
Trifecta: 5/4,8,9/Field ($18 for 100%)
Trifecta: 4,5,8/4,5,8,9/2,4,5,6,8,9 ($36 for 100%)

Hope's Fantasy is much better than her form suggests and she is drawn to get a nice sit behind the red in the early stages. In recent times she has been racing in top company and she has been lacking confidence, tonight she should get into some open space early in the event and she is a different chaser when she can sight the lure.
Gemma Dual should lead them up and she will give a great sight, the last 50m is a big concern for her but if they bunch up behind her mid race she may just steal the prize.
Mal Rose Hi is a powerful chaser and he will be charging home at the end, he will need some luck mid race but if he gets it he might just swoop over the top in the home straight.
Knave has a lot of gears but he can be hard to follow at times, if he happens to settle in a prominent position he could get up at nice odds.
Top Four: 2 – 8 – 1 – 4
Suggested Bets:
Win bet on Hope's Fantasy with Sportingbet
Boxed Quinella: 1,2,4,8 ($6 for 100%)
Exacta: 2,8/1,2,4,8 ($6 for 100%)

Kingsbrae Lavina is an explosive beginner and she reeled off blistering sectionals when scoring here recently in 30.11. She should be able to lead this field up and she appears to be getting stronger with every run. She may cop some heat from the six early but she really does look a good bet in this race.
Steel Rose scored a brilliant 30.63 Ipswich win three runs back and if she pings away she should figure prominently throughout, to win she will need to cross the four early, so maybe the quinella spot is best.
Don't Go Quietly is racing in consistent fashion and if he can settle in the top three early he should run a big race, the box draw is a concern but he has great track sense and he tends to do everything right in running.
Top Four: 4 – 6 – 8 – 3
Suggested Bets:
Win bet on Kingsbrae Lavina with Sportingbet
Boxed Quinella: 3,4,6,8 ($6 for 100%)
Exacta: 4,6,8/3,4,6,8 ($9 for 100%)
