Gatton Race 3 - Qn Hotel Laidley Mdn Plate
HELLAVALEGACY (8) sets the standard after resuming with a strong second at Toowoomba, beaten just over half a length by Mean Mahal on heavy ground. She was only an outside chance in betting there, so the run had substance, and the 2kg claim helps her second-up profile. MISS D'MEZ (13) is harder to sell on raw finishing positions, having been unwanted in betting at Ipswich and Sunshine Coast, but she is third-up, race fit and gets a chance in a race without much exposed depth. ZOUBUCA SHOTS (10) has the most consistent recent profile, placed three times from six starts in the past 12 months and fourth as favourite at this track last start. Include in multiples. SHE'S OUR VEGA (12) brings no race form, but the close third in her latest Gold Coast trial, 3kg claim and a trainer with a strong debut record give her enough readiness to be treated as a genuine first-start danger. Keep an eye on the betting with her as well as RUNNING ON EMPTY (3) who is also on debut.

Returns from a six-month spell with two trials behind him, which helps the readiness angle. He was third as a well-supported favourite at Toowoomba before the break, beaten two and a half lengths by Jaddaf after difficulty getting clear near the 300m. Another third there prior adds consistency, while the 1.5kg claim is useful. Consistent Toowoomba placings give him a place profile despite the draw.

Makes his debut off a Toowoomba Inner Track trial placing, so there is at least some public evidence to work with. He cost $12,000 as a yearling purchase and comes from a family with several winners, including city winners He Knows and Secret Tales. Market will help, but he can run a race.

Resumed with a strong second at Toowoomba, beaten just over half a length by Mean Mahal after being run down late on heavy ground. That was a sharp return after a plain Moree run before the break, and she now strips fitter with a 2kg claim to assist. Fitter second-up and the strongest winning case.

Debuts with a useful trial grounding, most notably a close third at Gold Coast in her latest hit-out. The 3kg claim gives her a light impost, and Paul Shailer's debut record adds some substance to the first-start case. She cost $3,000 as a weanling purchase and has had four trials, so she looks better prepared than most unraced types. Looks ready enough to be a winning danger.

Comes in third-up on a one-week back-up after finishing second last at Ipswich, beaten just under seven lengths by Mishani Vision when unwanted in the market. Her Sunshine Coast return was also plain, but the third-up peak angle is the reason for keeping her in calculations. Recent form is plain, but the setup gives her a chance to improve sharply.

Was last on debut at Ipswich, beaten eight and a half lengths by Disparate after settling rearward and making no impression, though he was steadied passing the 900m. Blinkers come off now, and he can take natural improvement from his first race experience. Blinkers come off, but he must show far more under race pressure.

Resumed with a seventh at Toowoomba, beaten just under eight lengths by Mean Mahal after settling back and only keeping on. Her Dalby debut was similar, finishing second last at big odds and making no impression late. Hard to recommend until she shows more.
