The rail will be out 9.5m for the entire circuit and the track is currently rated a soft 6.

We've had a close look at all eight races on the program and our thoughts can be found below

RACE 1 - 12:28PM: BARRIER REEF POOLS 2YO HANDICAP (800 METRES)

Accelar resumes and should find this easier than what she's previously contested.

The daughter of Alabama Express was only narrowly beaten on debut over 1000m at Eagle Farm back in October and the form from that race has proven to be solid. 

Given a freshen up, she then contested the Listed Calaway Gal Stakes but she was always wide and just looked to peak on her run late.

She comes here off an impressive 685m trial win and I think she'll prove too sharp for them over 800m.

RACE 2 - 1:03PM: IMPERIAL RACING C,G & E MAIDEN PLATE (1200 METRES)

Perigean resumed for the new stable with a solid effort over 1100m here.

Formally trained at Randwick, the Extreme Choice gelding failed to figure in two NSW starts but returned in good order after a lengthy break.

He will have taken plenty of benefit from that first up outing and the with any luck form the wide draw, should be right in this.

RACE 3 - 1:38PM: SEVEN FILLIES AND MARES MAIDEN PLATE (1200 METRES)

Winning Edition returns to the races.

The daughter of Winning Rupert just the two starts in her first campaign, performing well on each occasion and showing good improvement at her second outing.

She comes here of an 840m Doomben trial, where she cruised to the line under very little pressure to win the heat by over three lengths.

With the 2kg claim for Bailey Wheeler she gets in nicely and from the low draw, she's set to get the gun run.

RACE 4 - 2:13PM: GREAT NORTHERN BM70 HANDICAP (800 METRES)

Flaming Conquest kicks off her campaign here.

A daughter of Love Conquers All, she showed plenty of talent early on, saluting in four of her first six starts before contesting some strong form races. 

Last campaign she proved too slick when resuming over this track and distance and from the inside draw she looks well placed to repeat that performance.

Yvette Lewis will do the steering for David Murphy and take 3kgs off.

RACE 5 - 2:53PM: SCHWEPPES BM68 HANDICAP (1700 METRES)

Jupitus strips fitter for the two recent runs and will appreciate the drop back in grade.

The Chris Waller trained gelding made his way north after a couple of luckless runs in Melbourne and his most recent run, over the mile at Doomben was full of merit.

Taken back to last off the wide gate he finished off strongly into third.

The slight rise in trip will suit and he'll be doing his best work late.

RACE 6 - 3:30PM: GORDON'S GIN CLASS 1 PLATE (1700 METRES)

New Level has finished off nicely in two runs for the new stable.

The former Victorian hasn't had the best of luck on ether occasion and did well to finish off the way he did lats start after being speared wide on the home turn.

The Almanzor gelding presents here at peak fitness and looks well suited up to 1700m.

Jimmy Orman stays in the saddle and if he can find cover, he'll be finishing off strongly.

RACE 7 - 4:08PM: TAB CLASS 3 PLATE (1200 METRES)

Pizarro kicks off for the new stable.

Formally prepared by John O'Shea, the son of All Too Hard showed plenty of ability early on but just failed to fire last campaign.

He drops sharply in grade and comes here off a recent trial win, where he won the comfortably under very little pressure. 

He gets in beautifully at under the set weight conditions and Jimmy Orman will do the steering for Tony Gollan.

RACE 8 - 4:43PM: FAMILY DAY RACES BM68 HANDICAP (1350 METRES)

Toronado Rouge didn't the best of luck when resuming for the new yard.

Over 1200m at the Sunshine Coast, she looked to be travelling well turning into the straight but ran into dead ends, losing all momentum.

She has won second up previously and the rise in trip will suit.

Bailey Wheeler goes on, he'll take 2kgs off and can afford her every chance from the good gate.
