Eagle Farm Race 5 - Sky Racing Hcp
DEPTH OF CHARACTER (1) hasn't been too far away in Sydney Group company of late and should find this assignment much more to his liking. Has a win and a placing from two starts around this circuit and is drawn to get all the favours from the inside alley. Should be right there when the judge calls a halt. DEEP FOCUS (5) hasn't done much wrong with a win and two seconds from three career outings and looks a galloper with plenty of upside. Rates a leading hope. APUNTAR (2) strips fitter third-up from the spell and gets some weight relief with the 2kg claim. Top-three aspirations. MR BUBBALUSKI (3) has only missed a drum once in seven career starts and is a must for the exotics players.

Second run back. First-up after five months 5th of 12 at Sunshine Coast Cl2 on March 23 over 1400m, on a slow track; 1.75 len behind Moonfleet with 58kg at $31. Previously second-up 6th of 10 at Sunshine Coast Mdn-Sw on September 8 over 1400m, 7 len behind Fly Fifer with 56kg at $26. Looks a fair way off peak form so others are preferred.

Second-up. First-up after four months 3rd in a small field at Sunshine Coast 3yo Bm65 on April 6 over 1400m, in the wet; 3.5 len behind Sirkel carrying 59kg at $4.40. Previously second-up second last of 14 at this track in the G3 Grand Prix on December 14 over 1800m, in the wet; 20 len behind Beau Dazzler with 57kg at $21. Good return but isn't among the top hopes today.

Most recently got back early 4th of 8 at Doomben 3yo Bm65 on April 4 over 1640m, on heavy track; 3 len behind Ramp It Up with 56.5kg at $11. The run before that 5th of 7 at this track 3yo Hcp on March 15 over 1600m, 6 len behind Philia carrying 55.5kg at $31. Can't tip off that performance.

At the latest run favourite; ran on from midfield and scored a big 4.5 len win at Toowoomba Mdn April 5 over 1300m in soft going defeating Samurai Warrior carrying 58kg at $3.40. The run before that 4th in a small field at Sunshine Coast 3yo C&G Mdn on March 23 over 1200m, on a slow track; 4 len behind Livalittle with 58.5kg at $5. Might just find the rise in class a bit much today.
