Toowoomba Race 6 - Empire Of Japan Mdn Plate
Tricky race to assess with a few of these facing the starter for the first time. Of the raced brigade IN THREE DEE (3) just ran into one better here at the latest outing and looks to be getting better with racing. Gets the reliable Webster/Tilley combination and should be right there at the business end. PORTLY JACK (4) just missed the frame here on debut and will have taken a stack of benefit from that day at the races. Can feature with natural improvement. TUXEDO TORPEDO (7) gets 2kg off with the claim and may earn some minor money. MISS INFORMED (10) best of the rest in an open maiden.

Facing the starter for the first time. Three-year-old gelding by Highland Reel out of Bleiler. Half-brother to two-time winner Beauer. Dam was a winner of one race. At the most recent trial finished fifth on August 12 at Warwick over 800m. Hard to have here barring a strong move in the market given the trial form.

Three-year-old gelding (Neorealism - Ginga Gal). Half-brother to two-time winner Pocketrocket. Dam was a winner of two races. Has trialled on four occasions leading into today's race. Fourth over 800m in a Warwick trial on August 12. Trained on the course but others rate better and prepared to risk first time out.
