Ballina Race 4 - Koala Farms Hcp (C3)
The scratchings have decimated this race, opening the way for BACK ON DE QUO (7) who comes here off a seven-week let-up. Good fresh performer who has won three from four here at this distance, two of them coming in November at the start of this interrupted campaign. Trust any issues have been ironed out - is ideally credentialled. GAYLORD (1) is trialling well and poses a threat first-up from a 160-day spell. Raced very well last prep, the first under Matt Dunn who took the gelding in following a 16-month lay-off. Can go on to better things this time in work. MOFEED (3) is back after a 19-week break. Goes well fresh and is yet to miss the placings in three runs here, two of them at today's distance. Should be ready to run a forward race following a recent trial win at Lismore. CHARLOTTE'S HERE (9) struggled with the pressure of an 800m race at Ipswich when first-up from a spell recently. Expect a better run under today's conditions. Can't make a case for KYOGLE KID (11).

First-up. Finished off last campaign eighth of 14 at Randwick Highway-C3 September 20 over 1000m, 4 len behind Petticoat with 57.5kg at $26. Previous preparation first-up won by 1.5 len Grafton Super Mdn July 13 over 1006m defeating Torque Ti Amo carrying 61kg at $2.40. Perfectly drawn and is one of the better hopes

Comes here off a 49-day let-up. Last start sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 10 at this track Cl3 Bm66 on January 9 over 1015m, 2.25 len behind Immortality with 57.5kg at $9.50. The start before that sat on the speed and boxed on steadily second last of 7 at Gold Coast Bm65 on December 6 over 1000m, 8 len behind Elected with 59kg at $6.
