Innisfail Race 1 - Brothers Leagues Club Mdn Plate
ZIG ZAG TORQUE (9) stands out with a solid mix of recent form and experience. Her fourth at Gordonvale was respectable, and her earlier run here was strong, finishing just 2.5 lengths behind Stable Investment. The 1.5kg claim and two placings from four starts on good tracks support her chances. DEVILISH DECODER (12) is a compelling debutante, equipped with first-time blinkers, an apprentice claim, and the strong Trevor & Peter Rowe stable backing her, plus a solid third in the Atherton trial indicating race readiness. SQUADRONS (11) comes in with less appealing form, but last start at Townsville was more forgiving after racing wide and this distance suits him better. BOUDICA QUEEN (15) was only 2.5 lengths off at Townsville and with weight relief, she remains competitive if she can finish stronger.

Had a tough time at Cairns six days ago when ninth, beaten over 11 lengths after settling rearward, losing ground before the turn and racing wide. His previous second at Mareeba in a Mdn, when beaten a length and a half as the well-supported favourite, is the run that keeps him in calculations for a minor cheque. A return to the Mareeba second is required.

Was expected to do more on debut at Ewan, starting favourite in a small-field Mdn before finishing fifth, beaten just over six lengths behind Frilly Filly. The stewards noted he laid out through the race and then laid in up the straight, so there is scope for race experience to help second-up. Race experience can help second-up, but he must be cleaner under pressure.

Returns from a five-month break off a much better Cairns run than his debut, finishing fourth in a Mdn, beaten three and a half lengths at long odds after beginning slowly and racing wide. That followed a well-beaten seventh at Gordonvale on soft ground. Blinkers come off; improvement is possible but not assured.

Returns from a five-month break with a Townsville trial win to give her some readiness. She ended last campaign last at Kilcoy, beaten over 19 lengths after jumping awkwardly, which was a sharp drop from her debut fourth at Warwick when she led and worked home evenly. Debut fourth gives a small hook.

Makes her debut from the inside barrier with Chris Whiteley booked, but there is no recent trial evidence or sibling profile supplied to strongly anchor the assessment. That makes her harder to measure than the raced runners, although a soft draw gives her every chance to get into the race. Limited public evidence, so treat as a place hope rather than a firm win push.

Brings the most reliable profile, coming off a fourth in a Gordonvale Mdn over 1100m when beaten three and a half lengths, after finishing only two and a half lengths from Stable Investment at this track. The 900m record shows two placings from four attempts rather than a win, but the 1.5kg apprentice claim and solid good-track record strengthen her hand. Claim helps and she looks the one to beat.

Made his debut at Townsville in a soft-ground Mdn and was second last, beaten just under four lengths by Good One Cecil after settling back and failing to quicken. That was not a bad margin for a first look, and he now gets first-time blinkers plus weight relief from the 60kg he carried there. Blinkers go on, weight relief applies and a trial win keeps him in the place hunt.

Has the raw form of a runner out of sorts, but his Townsville ninth in a provincial Mdn is better than it reads after racing wide throughout and being beaten over 12 lengths at long odds. Two back he led at Moree and gave little late, so the finishing effort is still the issue. Form reads poorly, but this setup gives him a live rebound chance.

Debuts for the Trevor & Peter Rowe stable, which brings a strong track profile, and she gets both a 1.5kg apprentice claim and first-time blinkers. Her Atherton trial third gives a measured fitness pointer without being enough to declare her fully exposed. Trial third gives enough grounding.

Returns from a four-month break after two plain efforts, most recently seventh at Townsville in a provincial Mdn, beaten just over nine lengths when unwanted in the market. Her Cairns debut on soft ground was similar, finishing seventh and seven and a half lengths away after beginning awkwardly. Others make far stronger appeal.

Comes through the Good One Cecil Townsville Mdn in reasonable shape, finishing sixth but beaten only two and a half lengths after leading into the lane and tiring late. She was near the top of betting there, a stronger market sign than her ninth at Sunshine Coast two back. Weight relief and fourth-up fitness keep her right in play.
