Kilcoy Race 5 - Ladbrokes Vietnam Veterans Cup (55)
SACRED TED (2) has been running on solidly in his last 3 starts, and even though he was only eighth at Ipswich 4 days ago, he was not far from the winner. He is backing up quickly, with some gear changes, and he is capable of taking this out. MIDNIGHT MIRACLE (7) was an easy maiden winner of her penultimate start, and then followed that effort up with a game third on a heavy track just over 3 weeks ago. The extra furlong is ideal, so stick with her. DOITLIKEMAXWELL (4) had a tough trip and dropped out in a far tougher field at Rockhampton just over 7 weeks ago. This assignment is more to his liking, and from a handy gate on a tight circuit, he is worth another chance. Each way value. ATLANTIC ROYAL (6) has been having no luck with his barrier draws lately, but isn't the worst in this.

Most recently 9th of 11 at Beaudesert Cl2 on August 16 over 1650m, 6 len behind Going To The Sun with 57.5kg at $9. The run before that failed to make an impression; 6th of 10 at Gold Coast Bm78 on July 19 over 1400m, on a slow track; 8 len behind Sailor's Secret with 54kg at $16. Has had plenty of chances and needs to do more.

At the latest run 8th of 13 at Ipswich Cl1-Sw on August 20 over 1680m, slow going 4 len behind Cherish The Day carrying 60kg at $18. The run before that 3rd of 10 at Sunshine Coast Cl3-Sw on August 3 over 1800m, on a slow track; 3 len behind Umetini with 57kg at $21. This is well within his grasp.

Comes here off a 50-day let-up. Most recently raced behind the speed prior to fading second last of 13 at Rockhampton Guineas 3yo Hcp on July 5 over 1500m, slow going 9 len behind Scrub Chain carrying 53kg at $71. The race before that came home strongly from last on the turn; 4th of 10 at Dalby 0 - 55 on June 26 over 1400m, 3.5 len behind Mister Selfie carrying 58kg at $6.50. Capable of sharp improvement.

Dual acceptor. Recent form sound. Most recently came from midfield; 3rd of 10 at Toowoomba Cl1-Sw on August 2 over 1300m, in the wet; 5 len behind Data Leak with 56kg at $18. Before that won by 3.5 len at Toowoomba Mdn-Sw July 19 over 1200m defeating Silver Agent carrying 56kg at $2.70. Tough to beat on best form.

Second run back. First-up after two months raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 10 at Toowoomba Cl1-Sw on August 2 over 1300m, on heavy track; 10 len behind Data Leak with 58kg at $201. Previously second-up ran last of 7 at Pakenham Cl1 on March 20 over 1200m, slow going 8 len behind Unconquerable with 56kg at $51. Still early in the prep and might need more time.

Most recently second last of 10 at Sunshine Coast Cl3-Sw on August 3 over 1800m, slow going 12 len behind Umetini carrying 58.5kg at $151. The start before that 7th of 9 at Rockhampton Bm65 on July 5 over 2215m, on a slow track; 10 len behind Okesutora with 54.5kg at $51. Will not find this easy. Not keen.
