Emerald Race 3 - Aaa Tilt Tray Towing (Bm62)
EASTCOAST HUSSLER (8) is the horse to beat despite missing as favourite at Prairie last start, with his broader profile still very appealing for a Benchmark 62. He has won three of seven, drops from 62.5kg to 58kg, and his Blackall win over 1400m as a well-supported favourite reads strongly enough for this. LONERGY (3) brings the most reliable recent finishing form, coming out of a provincial Dalby second where he was hampered on the home turn and still finished within just under two lengths of Hello Dolly Diva. TOO MANY KISSES (9) is race fit, backs up quickly, and returns to Emerald after a Benchmark 55 win here before a sound Class 3 second at Thangool. LUNAR EIGHT (4) is the consistent danger, beaten only a neck last start after winning a Class 3 on soft ground two back, but she may need to produce her best again at this trip.

Returns from a one-month let-up after a plain fifth in a 3yo+ Class 6 at Aramac, beaten seven lengths after attracting some market support. His previous sixth at Muttaburra was also below what the betting expected, so the recent pattern is a concern. Not the worst.

Worked home for second at Dalby last week, beaten just under two lengths by Hello Dolly Diva after being hampered on the home turn. That provincial run now looks a useful form reference for easier company, and his Warra fourth two back had excuses after he was slow away and raced wide as favourite. Handles wet ground and looks a genuine winning chance.

Went within a neck of winning at Thangool last start after settling just off the lead and being pipped late, having been well found in the market. Two back she won a Class 3 at Springsure on soft ground, beating I'm Stellar by a head. Reliable mare with strong place claims if the extra ground suits.

Returns from a four-month break with a Rockhampton trial third to support his fitness. He was last seen finishing fifth at Rockhampton over 1600m, beaten just under two lengths after moving up before peaking late, and he had won a Class 1 there over 1400m the start prior. Can feature.

Second-up after finishing sixth in a Class 2 at Birdsville, where he was slow away, settled back and was beaten over 11 lengths by Forever A Diamond. His previous run at Sunshine Coast was also well held, finishing last in a Benchmark 58 on soft ground. Weight relief helps, but he needs a sharp form reversal.

Had been building a strong record before his Prairie fourth, where he was beaten just under four lengths as favourite in a Benchmark 55. That followed a Benchmark 50 win at Blackall, beating Final Comment by a long neck as a well-supported favourite, and his three wins from seven starts give the profile real substance. Prior Blackall win keeps him right in the race.

Backs up quickly after a sound Class 3 second at Thangool, where she worked home well from back in the field and was beaten just over two lengths by The Defender. The run prior was a Benchmark 55 win at Emerald, scoring by a length and a half, and she is proven at this distance. Strong place profile with a light weight.

Was unwanted in the market when fourth at Thangool over 800m last start, beaten just over seven lengths despite making some late ground. Two back he was beaten over 11 lengths in a Benchmark 55 at Dingo after racing wide throughout. Needs the class drop and extra trip to spark improvement.
