Gympie Race 2 - Bmwca Vip Clients Race (Bm65)
WALLY'S BOY (7) is the one to beat after winning by two and a half lengths at this track as an odds-on favourite. He rises from BM55 company, but the 3.5kg weight relief from that win helps, and his two-from-two record at this venue gives him the clearest local profile. MANHATTAN THUNDER (4) brings strong recent form of his own, winning a BM60 at Tara after a narrow Taroom second where he had some trouble, so he looks the main danger if he handles this venue at his first look. DON'T TOUCH (3) is chasing a hat-trick and has an outstanding 1030m record, with her Eidsvold BM60 win confirming current form, though this is harder company. SEA COMMITS (5) has not been winning, but she comes back from provincial company and her five wins from 16 starts at the distance keep her in the minor mix.

Returns from a lengthy spell after eight months off, having ended the last campaign with a BM75 win at this track, beating Primary Witness by half a length. That is a sound piece of form, but there is no trial lead-in supplied and his record around 1030m is one win from 14 attempts. The good-track record is also plain, so he must show he is ready first-up.

Arrives in excellent form after consecutive wins, most recently taking a BM60 at Eidsvold by just over a length as a well-supported favourite. She had also won narrowly at Goondiwindi, and her record around 1030m is a major strength with five wins from seven tries. The rise in grade asks more, but she is genuine enough to be around the placings again.

Won a BM60 at Tara last start, scoring by just under two lengths from Ceekay's Choice after being near the top of an open market. The Taroom second before that had merit, with stewards noting he was tightened, laid in and raced wide. He rises in grade and is new to this venue, but recent form gives him a strong base to be a major winning threat.

Comes back from provincial company after finishing sixth at Kilcoy, beaten just over four lengths by Heroic Chief, with interference near the 700m adding some context. Her Nanango run prior was plain in Open grade, but she is proven at this trip, with five wins and six places from 16 starts. The recent form is patchy, yet the setup keeps her in the place conversation.

Returns after five weeks between runs, coming off a third at this track in a BM60 where he was beaten just over eight lengths as a well-supported favourite. The Bundaberg second before that was much stronger, beaten a nose after being tightened soon after the start. His track-and-trip record is sound, but he has to rebound sharply from the latest effort.

Made the right response at this track last start, winning a BM55 by two and a half lengths from Duke Of Lancaster after being sent out an odds-on favourite. The Gold Coast run before that was poor, but he had jumped awkwardly and was big odds in Class 2 company. Rises in grade here, yet he drops 3.5kg from the win and is unbeaten from two runs at this venue, which makes him the one to beat.

Back after five weeks off, having finished third at this track in a BM55 over 850m, beaten six and a half lengths after jumping awkwardly. She was also third here two back in a BM50, but the margin was eight and a half lengths after a wide run and other manners issues. The venue record helps, but this grade asks for a much sharper performance.

Was last at Sunshine Coast in a BM58 last start, beaten seven and a half lengths after sitting handy and offering little, and the market wanted little to do with him. His previous run at this track was also well held in BM60 grade. A strong track-and-trip record and the winning rider back are positives, but recent output leaves him as a rough place chance only.
