Verdict

BARRELLING (2) drops back from metro company after giving a bold sight at Doomben last start, where he held on for a gritty fourth. He was below expectations as a short odds-on favourite at this track two back, but Ryan Maloney returning is a significant plus. NINJITZOU (13) brings a sharp second-up profile after a close CL4 placing at this venue, where he was steadied and still finished within a length. IMPACT ZONE (7) comes back from Saturday BM65 grade and his Sunshine Coast third two runs ago reads well, though 6 ¾f is new territory. Suspect he will be a touch vulnerable late in the piece. TEN GOOD REASONS (1) fought on strongly on heavy ground at the Sunshine Coast and has the wet-track record to keep him right in the race. Only needs to hold his form to be competitive again.

2	Returns after four weeks with the right class set-up, coming back from a metro CG BM68 at Doomben where he led and was beaten two and a half lengths. He did disappoint as a short odds-on favourite at this track two back, but two wins at the distance and Ryan Maloney's record on him give this a strong winning shape. 1st Pick 2 Barrelling Jockey: Ryan Maloney Trainer: Tony Gollan J: Ryan Maloney T: Tony Gollan	175	-	-	-	19%	9/2

13	Placed first-up in a Class 4 at this venue, beaten just under a length by Music Fever after being steadied passing the 4 ½f and still lengthening well. He has placed twice from six starts at this track and owns a solid 6 ¾f record. The wet ground is no negative, and with that stronger-grade run behind him he looks a key winning hope. 2nd Pick 13 Ninjitzou Jockey: Taylor Marshall Trainer: Robert Heathcote J: Taylor Marshall T: Robert Heathcote	103	-	-	-	10%	9/1

7	Drops back from Saturday BM65 company after finishing seventh at Doomben, beaten three and a half lengths when only fair to the line. His Sunshine Coast third two runs ago was much stronger, beaten a neck after giving a sight in soft ground. The new 6 ¾f trip is the query, but he is fit, handles wet tracks and has enough recent quality to rebound. 3rd Pick 7 Impact Zone Jockey: Daniel Moor Trainer: Tony Gollan J: Daniel Moor T: Tony Gollan	177	-	-	-	19%	9/2
