APOSTLE (1) is favoured off a sharply improved second at Toowoomba, where he warmed nicely late to only miss by a long neck. Gets his first look at the 1500m but his splits suggest he will relish it. WIN STAR (5) dug deep to fend off a challenger and justify the short quote, with a big gap back to the rest. Draws the A1 and gets a good chance to go on with it. MURKADO (2) has been close up in both runs this campaign and had a check last start at the Gold Coast. Drawn kinder this time, so if he takes closer order he may prove hard to hold out late. PIROUETTE GIRL (7) got off the mark stylishly at the Sunny Coast last time and carries a feather on her back here with Youngberry's 3kg claim. Needs to go up a rung or two but deserves respect. Similarly, EMBER ROYALE (6) is also a last-start maiden winner at the Sunny Coast. Suspect she can play a role late if the pace is genuine.

Went within a long neck of Ashkirk at Toowoomba last week, settling rearward before moving into the race and just being pipped late. That was a sharp lift on his ninth at Doomben, and he is now fitter third-up with blinkers applied for the first time and a 1.5kg claim. Built nicely and the rise in trip looks perfect for him now.

Closed to within a long neck at Gold Coast last start despite being checked near the 1000m, and he was respected near the top of betting. His previous third came in a Class 1 at Ipswich, where he began awkwardly and raced wide before working home evenly. Honest profile, with place claims strongest.

Broke through at this track and distance last start, leading narrowly and holding off Great Times Ahead by a head as a dominant odds-on favourite in a 3yo Maiden. She had earlier run second at Ipswich behind Weownachevy after covering ground, so the form line is solid. Quick back-up and soft ground are queries, but she has the right profile for a placing.

Powered over the top from well back to win a soft-track Maiden at Sunshine Coast, despite racing wide throughout and striking interference on the home turn. That was a clear improvement on her fourth in a 3yo F Maiden at Doomben, where she was slow out but made ground from the rear. The 1500m is new, but she can can threaten

Improved to fifth in an FM Maiden at Doomben last start, beaten three and a half lengths after settling well back and picking up nicely, but she was unwanted in betting. Her debut seventh at Ipswich was plain, although she raced wide and keenly. Light weight helps; stronger form is required.
